Alliant Reloder 16 In Stock Overview

Repeatable long-range accuracy demands propellant(Alliant Reloder 16 In Stock ) that behaves consistently across temperature extremes. Alliant Powder Reloder 16, like Reloder 23 and AR Comp, accomplishes this world-class stability using TZ technology. It manipulates the response of the material and resists the natural tendency to generate more pressure at higher temperatures and less pressure at lower temperatures.

The Reloder 16 burn rate is slightly faster than that of Reloder 17, well within the 4350 burn speed band. This makes it ideal for traditional hunting cartridges such as 30-06 Spring. and 270 Win., as well as 6.5mm target loads and tactical applications where temperature stability is required.

Features

• World-class stability across temperature extremes
• Contains proprietary de-coppering additive
• Excellent lot-to-lot consistency
• Formulation contains no DNT or DBP

FAQ On Alliant Reloder 16 In Stock

• What is Reloder 16 good for?

The Reloder 16 burn rate is slightly faster than that of Reloder 17, well within the 4350 burn speed band. This makes it ideal for traditional hunting cartridges such as 30-06 Spring. and 270 Win., as well as 6.5mm target loads and tactical applications where temperature stability is required.

• Is reloader 16 better than H4350?

We highly recommend Reloder 16 for shooters who can’t find H4350. RL16 has a very similar burn rate, excellent accuracy, and is VERY temp stable. Some ace F-Class shooters (among Top 10 at Nationals) tell us that, with hot ambient temps (80-100+° F), RL16 is even more temp stable than H4350.

• Why is Alliant powder out of stock?

Why are your powders so hard to find? The unprecedented demand for commercial ammunition, powder and other reloading components has exceeded the industry’s ability to keep product on the shelves at most retail outlets.

• What is the best Alliant powder for 6.5 Creedmoor?

H4350 is indeed a great powder for the Creedmoor, but H4831, IMR 4350, IMR 4831, IMR 4451, W-748, IMR 8208XBR, Varget, Big Game, as well as W-748 from Hodgdon have all proven to be excellent performers depending on the rifle and bullet. Alliant’s Reloader 15 and 17 have both produced excellent results.

FAQ On Smokeless Powder

• What are the major ingredients of smokeless powder?

All smokeless powders can be placed into one of three different classes according to the chemical composition of their primary energetic ingredients. A single-base powder contains nitrocellulose, whereas a double-base powder contains nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine.

• What is the advantage of smokeless powder?

Nitrocellulose propellants produce much less smoke and flash than black powder and deliver much more mechanical work per unit of weight. The other advantages of smokeless powder are its improved stability in storage. Its reduced erosive effects on gun bores, and the improved control obtainable over its rate of burning.

• What was the first gun to use smokeless powder?

The Lebel rifle

The Lebel rifle has the distinction of being the first military firearm to use smokeless powder ammunition. The new propellant powder, “Poudre B,” was nitrocellulose-based and had been invented in 1884 by French chemist Paul Vieille.

• Does water ruin smokeless powder?

Unlike in ANFO, or even black powder, the water doesn’t do any harm to smokeless powder. In powder factories, it is routine to process the powder wet, for safety reasons, and dry it only as one of the last steps before packaging.

• Does smokeless powder degrade over time?

When properly stored, an unopened container of smokeless powder has an indefinite shelf life, but once it is opened, the stabilizers it contains begin to slowly but surely weaken. Even then it can still last for a very long time.

• Is smokeless powder stronger than gunpowder?

Gunpowder produces lower pressures and is about three times less powerful when compared to smokeless powder. Gunpowder is also hygroscopic (i.e., it attracts moisture from the air), making cleaning mandatory after every use.
