Was wondering if anyone has tried this powder in a Dasher and/or a 6Bra with 103 to 105 Gr. bullets? I won an 8Lb. jug last year at the World Open and wanted to hear some reports so I could figure out where to start and how far to go.
TS 15.5 in the Dasher or 6 Bra?

Yep it works great in a dasher, let me dig out some info.
A few of us in Western Colorado put it through its paces last fall. We all agree, it is a great fit for the dasher with 103-108 gr bullets.

New Alliant Reloder TS 15.5 Powder — Outstanding Test Results « Daily Bulletin
Outstanding New Powder from Alliant -- Reloder TS 15.5 New Product Review by DasherDude Alliant has devloped a new temperature-stable powder for long range applications.
Start at 32.8 gr. with a 105 in the Dasher and work up and you'll find something interesting pretty quickly. 33.4 gr. behind a 105 g. Hybrid shoots a beautiful waterline in my Dasher.

As soon as they get more to market, I will be in the fight to get some.
@Alliant Reloading Any new on when more 15.5 will be in the country?

Honestly, I do not know.
I ran it up to 33, and made a note in my loading log to retest to pressure but have not made it out to the range in a bit. I did shoot 33 at an IBS match and brought home some trinkets to hand on the wall.

Clay,
We have more coming from Sweden soon. I expect it to be in distribution early April, or maybe sooner.
I am glad it is working well for you.
Best,
Paul
tclaunch,
I had the same thought burn speed wise, but when I tested the two in heavy 308 Win the TS 15.5 yielded almost 40ft/sec more velocity at equal pressure. Additionally, with TS 15.5 you can expect world class temp stability and a pretty effective decoppering agent.
Thank you for your interest.
Best,
Paul
Chuckhunter,
Good luck with your prize. Hopefully you did something good at that shoot to win it.
Tom Snook sent me a pic of you in your Alaska brown bear shirt with the prize. He said you go by "Chickhunter" on this site, which I thought was funny. Now I realize Tom fat fingered the i/u, which are right next to each other. (I am easily amused some times.)
Tom has had some success with TS 15.5 in the Dasher, so check with him also.
Shoot well,
Paul

Do you know if it will be available in 8 pound jugs this time?
Thanks for being on the forum and answering questions.

Probably a little on the fast side but so far it’s been working excellent in my 300 Saum imp, with 185 juggernauts.
With everything else being equal, I ended up at 61.6, RL16 at 3016fps and 58.1, RL15.5 at 3006fps, so probably around ~5.5-6.0% faster for burn rate.
In this particular barrel, 15.5 is showing better accuracy and temp stability seems on par with 16 & 23.
