Right now there does not seem to be a pound of it to be purchased anywhere in the US. That’s a very substantial bit of extra performance, and the question in my mind is whether the manufacturer can produce the same type of performance consistently lot to lot (or whether that’s a “one in a million” lot that first came in to the US). We’ll see!

Thanks German for all your work and reporting on this – Great Job!

If they can do this repeatedly with RL-17, then what would be possible with a Nitrochemie powder like that in the RL-15 burn rate for cartridges like the 6BR, 6mmAR, 6mmAR Turbo, etc.? 200 fps more with a 105 gr bullet in those cartridges would be a real “WOW”!
