Reloader 16 in an 8 twist 6br

[Mulligan]

Makes me wonder why H4350 wouldn’t work also.

A number of folks run H4350 in a dasher, however I have found RL-16 performs better in my barrels.
A friend @Thumper has used H4350 in a straight BR and did very well with it.

Anybody else find Re 16 quite temp sensitive? Warm load at 75 degrees fell off 50 ft per sec at 29 degrees. Have also found it can got to pressure very quickly if you’re on the hot side and temp goes up 5 degrees between relays.

No, actually just the opposite. Used the same load 35.0gr with a 105 Berger VLDs in my dasher for a couple of years shooting F-Class. Steady as a rock.

Were you shooting in temp extreme, same load but 45-50 degree difference? That’s where the FPS fell off for me. On the hot end, first relay shot smartly, but second shot on second relay an hour later and bolt wouldn’t open with out beating on it with a block of wood. Have been cautiously using re 15 ever since. Glad to hear it works for you. Will try again.

Yes, from 25*F in the early spring to over 100*F in the summer.

this thread is about RL16 and the 6BR, not about a Dasher, talk about a thread wreck, you guys should appologise to the OP.

As for the question the OP asked, i checked it on Gordon's Reloading Tool, it says, "Donteventhinkaboutit"

Ditto on the Reloader 16 in regular BR. The jug I have is just too darned slow. I think it might be just a tad slower than 4350.
It works great in my 30-06.

For what ever part I played in this train wreck, Mia culpa. I’ll buy the next round.

If it went awry, it happened 4 years ago.

I’m pretty sure the OP doesn’t care since he hasn’t even been on the forum for well over a year and a half..

RL16 is too bulky for the 6BR, you can’t enough in the case but it’s great in the Dasher and BRX but it needs a drop tube.

Yep. And the highjackers have provided good info.

I bought a pound to try in my 6br but decided against it when it didn't work out for my buddy in his 6br. I have shot it in my 6CMS and all is good. High jacking ......

This: density, not speed. RL16 is a bit slower than h4350 but can work if you get enough of it. The problem is somewhat low density.

Contrast that with Rl26 which is way too slow for my 6.5crd supposedly, but works brilliantly due to being able to fit 46+ grains. More speed, less pressure.

You got 35 gr. of RL- 16 in a 6Br. ? I can't get 35 in a Br imp. with a 12" drop tube and it will compressed..... jim
