    reloader 15 help

    So I got whole of a lb of reloaded 15 and don't know what to use it for . I usually do pistol 9,38/357,40,45 and rifle 223 maybe start doing 30-06 & 308. Really I guess I'm just wondering what it would be good for.
    Powders I'm used to are bulls eye, unique&h335. I guess I could trade or off for something I could use or figure out a load and buy a gun for it.

    75 or 77gr bullets for your 223 will work good with re15. Try about 24gr and load to magazine length.

      Trade it away. No reason to work up a load for 1lb.

        It's one of the big three, or four, for the 308 Win and when using the heavies in the 223 Rem.

        It's a great powder, so don't ditch it.

        Now, if you owned a manual, or two, you wouldn't be asking about it here, lol.

        Read, read, read.

          "Got a whole lb" and has no idea what it works well in. Another panic buyer just buying anything out there.
          No wonder we have a shortage of powder .......but not fools.
          A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

            It is a good 308 powder.

                  Wow seem like some people have a stick up a butt. I guess most of the nice people took the night off . Jeesh.Someone gave it to me and there was no panic buying. I really had more Faith in the calguns crowd . I have 3 reloading manuals for the reading but I was just trying to see what you all thought . This really upsets me on how some of you just assume you know what's going on . To those who responded with a not *** comment I appreciate it. I do plan on getting a 308 rifle in the future
                  so this will help .

                    I use it for .223 and .308, for .223 I was using 75gr bullets and 22.5 gr of powder and it worked great in my ar ,16" 1/9 twist barrel

                        It's a good powder for .308 and meters very well.

                          I have a 1/9" AR and load mostly 55grs. It seems to be good in .223, but with heavier bullets. If I can easily get a bunch of it, should I bother?
                          Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

                            Looks like it's a popular powder go on line lots of data.
