About this powder
Reloader 16 was purpose-built for the 6.5 Creedmoor and 6mm Creedmoor precision shooting market, where temperature stability is critical for consistent long-range performance. Its slower burn rate compared to Varget makes it ideal for the 140-gr 6.5mm bullets that have dominated PRS competition. A top choice for serious long-range precision shooters.
