Description
Alliant Powder's Reloder-22 is a slow-burning rifle powder well-suited for high-performance long-range applications. Its burn rate is ideal for large magnum rifle calibers where slower combustion is desirable to maximize energy release over a longer period. Designed as an extruded powder, Reloder-22 provides consistent metering, though care should be taken with certain powder measures due to its shape, ensuring precise loads. It exhibits excellent temperature stability, which is crucial for maintaining performance in varying environmental conditions, making it a reliable choice for hunting and competition shooting in diverse climates. This powder is especially popular in calibers such as the .300 Winchester Magnum, 7mm Remington Magnum, and other magnum cartridges requiring a large powder case volume. Experienced reloaders will appreciate its ability to deliver consistent velocities with minimal deviation, enhancing accuracy. When developing loads, attention to detail in pressure signs and load data is recommended to fully exploit Reloder-22's capabilities safely and effectively.
