Reloader 15 ?

[Northridge]

Are others finding that more recent lots of reloader 15 are faster or slower lots as compared to older lots. I know other things can play a role in how and when we see pressure in a given situation. Which primers we are using, which bullet type, seating depth, how loose or tight a case is in chamber, fouled barrel, clean barrel etc. 6mm dasher or comparable cases.

Thanks for any responses in advance

Haven't noticed anything about my lots of reloader 15. Am about to start a new bottle very soon. Will let you know if anything has changed

I can't speak to older lots of RL15 since I've been using Varget with good results in the Dasher. New barrel doesn't like the Varget and 105 Hybrid combo I was using so I switched to RL15 and 105VLDs.
Load development up to 33.9 gr of RL15 showed no pressure signs with my BAT B/Brux barrel. 33.9 shot best at 100yds and I will try it at 600 next weekend to see how it shoots.
MV is 3048 with 8ES. I bought the RL15 about 6 months ago and based on load data other folks have posted I was surprised I didn't get any pressure signs. Temps were in the high 40s when shooting for load development.

Good Shooting.

Jet, is that a 1-8 twist brux or something tighter like 7.5 twist? do you no what free bore diameter your dasher has? .104 .135 .150 something special

Jet, fb length not diameter

I have sure had inconsistent results with RL-15 both in 6mm BR and 6mm Dasher. I have gone through about 7lbs of the stuff before I gave up on it and switched to Varget.

I'm with you on the RL 15 and its inconsistency from day to day. I recently shot a club match using the stuff at 500 yards and it looked like a shotgun target. Kicker was same loads same bullets and all at 500 I was shooting groups down in the 1/2" range. Went back to using Varget and my Dasher shot as it always had.
