Hi all
I have been home loading for a while now, I have always found RL15 a good allrounder powder for 32g and 40g Vmax but sadly RL15 is getting harder to source near me.
I am looking for options on another powder that may perform similar in my Rifle?
My 204 Howa 1500 has a shorten barrel.
Any suggestions?

Many thanks Ash

Try some CFE 223, works well in my 204R, with 32 - 45.6 grain bullets. Hornady Data site as start/max loads listed. Another good powder is Xterminator. Bill K

Thanks Bill

my rifle likes H4895 with 39 gr SBK's and IMR8208 XBR with 35 gr Bergers

Let's not forget RL 10x, or Benchmark, or N133. All great powders for the 204 Ruger. Serve some to your 204 Ruger and see what it prefers.
