300 saum w/rl15

I have not used 15. I have used a bunch of R-17 with 165 gr. bullets and found very good speed and great accuracy. I have also used 4007, good results, Varget with 150's good results, 4350, both H & IMR ok results and several others with mixed results.

Okay, thanks, its a start.
 
Tried a lot of powders but after all the experimenting I came running back to good ole' H-4350.... if I could only have one powder for everything from .25 to .338 I would have a hard time finding one better than H-4350!!!
 
RL15 was my go to powder for several years for cartridges that favored powders with a medium burn rate and the SAUM's fall in that category.

I now use Varget which is similar accuracy and velocity but isn't temperature sensitive.

If temperature sensitivity isn't all that important to you I predict that you'll have excellent results with RL15 in your SAUM.

Just one man's opinion....

I prefer RL15 over Varget. I seem to be able to get better results quicker than with Varget. That is all I have used. Thanks for the info.
