RL22

[Slimfinn]

In my latest trade i ended up with a unopened pound of RL22. He was using in a 25.06. Ive not used any of the RL's. Is there a must use cartridge for rl22? Here is what I have that i think it could work in
243win
25.06
260
264win
Thanks.

Best powder made for 257 Robert's and 110 or 115 gr bullets. It will work good in all those with heavy for caliber bullets.

 

[FOTIS]

It will work well in everything you listed.

I have used it in the 06/180 to get 2850fps, very accurate load. Also used it with my 338 Jarrett but found 26 to be a little better. I have cases prepped for the 257 Roberts so I can try it with 110s and 115s. Just need bullets.

And disregard what you read about RL22 not being temp stable. It's bashed alot on the internet. RL22 is my go to powder for the 280AI.

Works well in the 264win mag, 257W, and others

 

[jimbires]

7mm Rem mag 160's , and RL22 , is a perfect match .

Really a fine propellant the 264 win mag

You’re going to wish you had more than 1lb.

JD338 is spot on...

the temperature thing is such an overhyped superficial issue that is IMO a NONISSUE

I can't put my finger on when the temperature instability gibberish started but it became a trendy little thing that mfg's started touting.....
Because you know...
when the temperature changes.....
these reloads start shooting around corners.

More game has been taken with Winchester Super X and Core-lokt ammunition than any other ammo...reload or factory..
Yet nobody ever had weather or temperature related issues

My goto in 300WBY with 200 grn AB ot PT. Friend, my son and I hunted Africa with three different rifles, same load

I'm one who has been pretty critical of RL22 in the past, and I have good reasons for that (personal experience, not read about it)... it can be temperamental.

BUT... it can also be pretty great.

I've used a good bit of MRP (exact same powder as 22, just a different label) in 270 and have come to love it in that round.

All that said... in any bottleneck round with similar case capacity or a little less than 30-06, its great with heavy bullets.

I still won't use it in a magnum round.

 

[salmonchaser]

MRP and 22 the same powder? Is there a clone to 26?

Yes. No RL26 Norma clone. MRP2 = RL 25

7mm Rem mag 160's , and RL22 , is a perfect match .

The only combo I've worked with RL22 in. If I remember correctly that was using 160 gr Partitions. 1 off experience only, but that particular rifle anyways would agree with you 100%.

RL22 is excellent in the 7mm Rem Mag with 140 and 160 gr bullets

Reloader 22 has been scarce!

Love it for the:
6mm Remington, 95 & 100 gr bullets

25-06 with 110 & 115 gr bullets

257 Weatherby with any bullets

7mm Rem Mag with 160's

30-06 with the 180's

Seems to me I also used it in the 300 Win Mag, but that was a long doggone time ago

I wish there was. Dan.

Never used 22 but love MRP. I have read MRP is A grade RL22, not sure if that's true but when I'm out of MRP I'll be trying to find some RL22!
