Out of curiosity has anyone been able to find any RL22 in the last several months? I'm just now getting into reloading again and was able to find one pound of powder. I've already used it up. I'm loading 140gr accubond for my 7mm mag and got 3325 muzzle velocity. I'm not sure if there's another powder available that will give my those velocity and accuracy.

Keep your eyes out for RL23, data is similar but not exact as RL22 and is much more temperature stable. RL26 is the typically the holy grail for getting highest velocities in Magnum rounds.

When I was loading 7mm Rem Mag last, I was using Reloader 19. I was getting 3350 fps, from a 26" barreled Sendero, with 140 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips, so virtually the same bullet.
I got very similar velocities from Reloader 22. I don't remember why I chose to use Reloader 19, over Reloader 22, either the velocities with RL 22 were not as consistent or the pressures were a little higher. I remember both produced within 20 fps of each other on velocity.

Jk. That’s INSANE.

Perfect for reloaders aiming for precision and consistent performance.
The price is poop, but WAY WAY WAY better than what Mr Johnson just paid for that RL22.
They have quite a few other powders in stock, so maybe you can pick up 4-6 pounds to help offset hazmat/shipping some.
