I came across some , would like to hear good or bad experiences with it and calibers used in.
Thanks
 
I use it in a 7-08, 308 and 300 savage. Works well for me and I have several pounds to use up.
 
Dang... I’ve heard it’s amazing in the 35 Whelen and similar case/bore sizes.
 
I have about 1/4cup of it. Probably works so well that I better just dump it out[emoji23]

I have a couple of pounds of RL12 with a 10-90 lot #. The cans say Hercules on the label. If I remember right it worked really well with 50s & 52s in a 22-250 I once had. I cant find the load data so it may have gone with the rifle when it got sold. It struck me as a short grained 4064. Clean burn. No weirdness noted. I've only been using it for fire forming these days since it's OOP & not replacable. With 8# it would be worth a little testing. Anywhere the quicker mid burners work it may excel.
 
My intended uses will be a replacement for Varget for my 223 and 7400 in 308. When spring rolls around I give it a try.

I found a couple of the load pamphlets from '92 & 95 that gunshops had for free. If you need data let me know.
 
I have a Hodgdon number 26 book that shows re12 I’d be happy to snap a pic of any of them you need.

gbflyer and 358WCF if you both could PM 308 Win. with 150gr bullets I would appreciate it. I doubt there is any load info for 70gr or heavier for 223.
Thanks
