Alliant RL 23

[Palouser]

I saw this in a SG store the other day. It isn't even on their website yet. So close to 22, why would they make it? Does anyone have the inside scoop on this?

Note, also, RL 26. Looks good in WSMs with heavy for calibre bullets.

...I wonder if it uses the same integral buffer as RL-17/ 33, instead of a coating???

I should imagine this would be an excellent supposition. It would be nice if they gave us some approximate burn rates, though.

RL 23 and 26 apparently are temperature stable versions of RL 22 and 25 with a de coppering agent as well from what I have read at 24hourcampfire.

I'm interested especially if they finally have some good lot to lot consistency.

I read that also. It is RE22/RE25 with Temp stability and anti Copper additive.

It looks like reloader 26 is between rl25 and rl33oNew Product Sheet (pdf) - Outdoor Writers - Home

I see that Natchez has both RL 23 and RL 26 one pound canisters in stock.

Certainly looks interesting.

I'm going to give it a whirl when I can. Big fan of 22 and 25.

 

[DrMike]

I note that Bulletworks also has four pounds each of RL23 and RL26 in stock. I'm sure it will go quickly, however.

Combining this release with the new IMR powders--oh, my!

Our local store had some, I should have picked some up but didn't.

Anti coppering, reduce fouling?

Supposed to be the case SC. John Barsness wrote in an article that alot of powders have had decoppering agents in them for years, but more companies are laying that moniker on their newer powders. We surely live in a great time for powders available, just hoping we start to see them on the shelf a little more often..

All I know is that for this new reloader, every time I read something it's with a different powder and that might be just the one I need to use.

Hope springs eternal for each hand loader. The lure of the unknown is what defines a hand loader, just as the desire to see territories previously unseen draw the hunter.
