Description
Reloder-25 by Alliant Powder is a slow-burning rifle propellant ideal for magnum cartridges, providing outstanding performance in large-capacity cases. This powder's burn rate, rated at approximately 0.4, is particularly suitable for heavy-bullet loads where prolonged pressure curves are beneficial. Its granular form ensures consistent and efficient metering through progressive loaders, facilitating precise charge weights essential for tight shot-to-shot consistencies. Reloder-25 exhibits remarkable temperature stability, aiding in maintaining consistent velocities across diverse environmental conditions—a crucial factor for long-range accuracy. This propellant is typically favored in cartridges like the .300 Winchester Magnum, 7mm Remington Magnum, and .338 Lapua Magnum, where it maximizes velocity without excessive pressure. During load development, careful attention to pressure signs and incrementing in small steps is advised, given the elevated energy release associated with its slower burn rate. For handloaders, Reloder-25 offers the advantage of achieving high velocity with excellent accuracy, supporting both target shooting and hunting applications, backed by Alliant Powder's reputation for quality and performance in the reloading community.
