    Has anyone tried this powder and if you did what were your
    results? Getting ready to load some 223 for me new build..

    Since I have some here,I thought I might give it a try if
    any of you think it is worth the effort..Thanks-John

    I would not. Although I don't have any personal experience with it in .223, I would not think RL-7 would be very ideal in .223 - I think it's just too fast and there are several proven choinces. I would think RL-7 would be more ideal with lighter pills (like 50gr) and shorter barrels... think AR-15 cartridges. Of course, I assumed you were aksing about a Savage rifle (that is what this forum caters too, so I think that is reasonable even if you did not specify what you were reloading for).

    Anyway... you have the powder and want touse it. So why not try anyway?

    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
