    Reloder 15 small cal, small bullets


    Does anyone claim any success (or failure) with Reloder 15 (or 12, or 10) in .223 & .22-250 using 50 & 52 grain bullets and in .243 with 70 grain bullets or smaller? I'm running Rem brass with Federal match primers. Bullet choices are Sierra, Nosler, and Combined Technology.

    Thanks, Steve

    PS- How about .204?

    R-15 works great with 50g bullets in the 22-250 never tried it in the 243 (use varget or IMR 4064) but it should be real close

    Not a 223 or 204 shooter so I'm no help there although 10x should be good in both

    In my Savage Predator in 22-250 it's the only powder I use. I shoot Sierra 55gr Blitz Kings behind 37.1 gr of RL15, CCI BR2's, OAL 2.095 (to ogive) avg. 3725fps in a 22" barrel. Shoots .3 -.5 all day long.

    For .223, R-10 would work good, R-12 would be doable and R-15 just burns too slow for such a light bullet in that caliber.....

    For .22-250, they would all do pretty good....
