I see that Alliant is no longer making this powder. Has anyone tried it in the .204? My dealer has a few older canisters on the shelf.

Re-12s burning rate is somewhere between H4895 and IMR 4064, so using that as a template, I'd use starting data for H4895 and work up slowly, just like with any other powder. It shouldn't be hard to come up with something useable.
Of course, it would be just my luck to come up with something spectacular, and then be stuck without any more of the powder to be found

Three pounds would last a while. Maybe I'll try a pound and see how it goes.

Never been to a dogtown (a few bars that were close), but I guess it could happen!
More likely I'd be shooting chucks.
I do have a pound of Rel. 7. It has a lot of uses, and never fails to impress.
