I've just been using Reloder15 to push 69gr SMK's with decent results. I'm curious if anyone has any other recommendations for getting the best performance from that bullet out of a 16" barrel?
RS52 works well with 80grain bullets in a 30" 1:8 barrel

(Unless its recently become plentiful again, but my local RFD hasn't had any for a couple of years...)
Never had any problem getting Varget from my local RFD. I always keep 2 tubs in my stock, as I reload for 3x.223 rifles.
Maybe its just my local RFDs that have a poor choice of powders then... When I finished my last tub of H335, I thought I'd give Ramshot Tac a try as many people were enthusing about it, but neither of my local gunshops had that in stock either, so i ended up getting more H335...
