The Alliant Reloder 17 rifle powder delivers exceptional velocity and accuracy across multiple magnum calibers. This temperature-stable propellant consistently outperforms standard powders in demanding conditions. Reloaders choose RL17 for its ability to generate maximum velocities while maintaining safe pressures in cartridges from .243 Winchester to .300 Winchester Magnum.
What Makes This Different
Reloder 17 features a unique temperature-stable formulation that maintains consistent performance from -40°F to 140°F. Unlike conventional powders that lose velocity in cold weather, RL17 delivers uniform ballistics across extreme temperature ranges. The powder's burn rate sits perfectly between H4350 and H4831, filling a critical gap in the reloading spectrum. Independent testing shows RL17 produces 50-100 fps higher velocities than comparable powders in most magnum applications.Key Features
