reloder 16 anyone?

Has anyone tried RL16 yet in a situation where they were using AR2209? I have read that (supposedly) it can give slightly better speed and lower pressure. It apparently also contains a decoppering additive

Mate have you been asleep under a rock or something :D Scroll back a few pages and look at 6.5 Creedmoor load development

Here we go. Gibo will give us an update too, about his 260 trial ;)

@Gibo is currently loading us up a few to try. He doesn’t know it yet though.

ferk 7 pages.... I have been running 2209 in a saum wild cat for a few years I only have an old version of quick load that doesn't have RL16 data. Can anyone tell me if the amount of powder they are using matches approx weights they used for similar loads with 2209? The closest data I can get to my load is for7x57AI looks to produce similar speeds/pressure at about 2 grains lower than a 2209 load is that a similar scenario to creedmore?

In my 6.5 Creedmoor, 42gr of 2209 with a 143gr eldx gave me more high pressure signs than 42gr of RL16 but the RL16 gave me 240fps more velocity than the 2209.
From what Ive read the RL16s burn rate is somewhere between 2208 and 2209 but produces less spiking pressure than both.

Just ordered 3 tins without even trying it
Should be easy enough to find a home for if it doesn’t work out

Was that with your potentially dodgy original tin of AR2209, or from the replacement one you tried recently?

PM inbound, I'll talk you through how to set up RL-16 as a new powder in Quickload if you like. I just did a couple of weeks ago.

No way.. it was the new batch.. even 41gr of the old batch ruined brass.
42gr of the new batch gave me a slight sharp primer creator and a light ejector imprint with the 143gr ELDX

How did the RL16 go for you? Is it the weekend yet? :XD:

The fishing was crap yesterday @Gibo so there is NOTHING left that do then shoot some 6.5’s into paper over a chrony.

I wasn't using RE16 this morning, but I was shooting a 6.5 :D, I can report 27gns of 8208XBR goes not too bad with a 143ELD X in a 223 case. Just gave it a try for something different
