Looking for Reloader 25....No Luck!

[Ingwe]

I can't find it anywhere!!

Anyone here have any ideas??

Thanks!

I was talking with the fellow that more or less handles the reloading section at my loal Sportsman's Warehouse and he said he hasn't seen any of the Reloder powder in almost a year. I've been trying to get some Re22 for the last 9 months with no luck at all. I sure don't have any answers, only frustration. :roll:

Retumbo is available on Gun Broker.....why do you suppose that and not RL-25?

 

[Sas874runner]

Gun broker is an auction. So more than likely someone is tryin to make a little coin

I don't get it...

So why then are they not trying to make coin with RL-25 as well??

 

[Sas874runner]

May not have worked in their rifle

...no RL-25, but we just got in 8 cases ea. of Unique, 2400, & RL-22 so there might be a little light @ the end of the tunnel...

We've had RL25 a few times here at the local store. It is really hit or miss though. Another I forgot to mention is RL33. It worked very well for another buddy using the 168 ABLRs. Seems a little more available as well. It's slower and does seem to make those 168's move out real quick. Going to be a little compressed like Retumbo but it does give you some more options.

If I can ever find any RL33 here in the Great White North, I'll be picking it up for testing.

Right now, it is probably the most available of any of the Alliant powders. Seems to come up for sale fairly often, plus it comes in 8lb'ers.

I'm down to 3 lbs. myself and haven't seen any on the shelves in a long time. Hope this turns around soon and for the better.

 

[DrMike]

I have some definite plans for RL33--when I find some. I'm reasonably well set with both RL25 and RL22. I'm definitely skinny on RL15, however.

 

[Ingwe]

Guys I just ordered RL-33 from Bruno's!!

Hurry up...they have 1lb and 8lbs.

Good Luck!

I think you'll be very happy. This is the 168 Custom Comp, but I believe you'll see more than this, if your rifle tracks even closely to what mine has.
