Alliant reloader 19

[woogie_man]

Has anyone had any luck with this powder? Looking at building up some rounds for the 6.5 creedmoor using some hornady 143 eld-x bullets. Having issues finding any oh the 4350 powder, so was told this may be a suitable alternative.

Any thoughts or ideas

Midsouth shooters has h4350 in stock

Have been looking and I see that, though have been looking at local places. Was shocked to see the hazard price in a single 1# bottle. If needed I will have to get with some shooting buddies here and make a large order

 

[Huskydriver]

Hazmat is a flat fee regardless if you order 1lb or 1 box of primers up to 48 lbs I believe

I find that 16 to 24 lbs (2-3 8 lb kegs) typical makes the hazard fee more palatable... But certainly understand you wouldn’t want that quantity with unknown powders.

Yeah. Not many people o know reload much. Have a buddy who may need some, so I may be able to sneak in a barrel or two.

But locally everywhere seems to have the alliant powder consistantly

Local store just got in a shipment of powder....able to grab a pound of the 4350.

Now for a load.......

The RL16 and IMR4451 will also work if other powders are hard to find
The H4350 is first and the RL16 would be a close second.
The RL19 is a little slow and is sensitive to temp. change.

The RL16 is great. Also the 26. Not so much the 19.

 

[woogie_man]

Have been seeing both good and bad about the rl19, I do have some 129 grain hornady rounds as well to play with. Hopefully will find something my rifle likes....either that or I will just cut the barrel down to the 17" and start over. Lol

Reloaded 17 works good as a alternate to H435o in 6.5 CM. I’ve heard RL16 is
A better choice but I stockpiled a bunch RL 17 before RL16 was available.
Have no experience with Rl19.

i shot a lot of RL-19 in a 260....RL powders are very dirty and RL-19 is the worst...it worked well in my 260 so should work pretty good in your CM just clean your barrel more often and remember its temp sensitive so a load that shoot great in cool weather may be to hot in warmer weather.
