About this powder
Reloader 17 is a dense, efficient extruded powder delivering impressive velocities in medium-large cases like the Winchester Short Magnums (.300 WSM, 7mm WSM) and .30-06. Its density allows higher charge weights in smaller cases, making it the top choice for compact magnum cartridges where case capacity is at a premium.
