Alliant Reloder 23 Smokeless Gun Powder

Clear Product Overview

Alliant Reloder 23 powder represents a major leap in rifle propellant design, engineered specifically to offer extreme temperature stability and high velocity across diverse shooting conditions. Utilizing Alliant’s advanced TZ® chemical technology, this double-base extruded powder resists velocity variations caused by hot summer heat or freezing winter weather. Because its burn rate closely mirrors the legendary Reloder 22, handloaders can step up to modern thermal stability without sacrificing the dense fill ratios and flat trajectories they depend on. As a result, competitive long-range shooters and big-game hunters get predictable point-of-impact performance anywhere in the field.

Real-World Use Information

When you are packing a hunting rifle for a high-altitude alpine elk tag or dialing in 1,000-yard target loads, Alliant Reloder 23 powder gives you absolute consistency in changing climates. The uniform stick kernels feature a specialized anti-fouling additive that actively sweeps copper deposits out of your rifling with every shot. Furthermore, these extruded kernels meter smoothly through electronic powder measures and hand tricklers, making match-grade load development effortless. Consequently, handloaders achieve tight extreme spreads (ES) and low standard deviations (SD) needed for first-round hits.

Compatibility & Requirements

• Cartridge Compatibility: Excels in popular long-range hunting and match calibers including 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, 7mm Rem Mag, and .300 Win Mag.

• Metering & Tool Compatibility: Extruded stick profile trickles smoothly through digital dispensers and auto-drop measures.

• Safety Requirement: Always consult published loading data from Alliant Powder or reliable manuals; do not substitute grain-for-grain with Reloder 22 without working up charges from the minimum start weight.

Pros & Limitations

Pros:

• TZ® Thermal Stability: Holds steady velocities across radical temperature fluctuations from summer practice to winter hunting.

• Integrated De-Coppering: Advanced chemical additives minimize copper jacket buildup to preserve barrel accuracy longer.

• High-Energy Velocity: Double-base chemical structure yields higher feet-per-second capability than typical single-base propellants.

• Clean Combustion: Burns fully inside medium and magnum rifle barrels, leaving minimal carbon fouling in the bore.

Limitations:

• Specific Case Capacity: Formulated primarily for medium-to-large rifle cases; too slow for small-capacity rounds like .223 Remington or .300 Blackout.

• Bulkier Kernel Size: Requires standard care when dropping into small neck diameters to avoid powder bridging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How does Alliant Reloder 23 compare to Reloder 22?

A: Reloder 23 offers a very similar burn rate to Reloder 22, but adds advanced TZ® technology for far superior temperature stability and built-in de-coppering additives.

Q: Is Alliant Reloder 23 powder good for 6.5 Creedmoor?

A: Yes, Reloder 23 performs remarkably well in 6.5 Creedmoor with heavy 140-grain to 147-grain match bullets, offering excellent case fill and stable velocities.

Q: Does Alliant Reloder 23 contain copper removal additives?

A: Yes, it includes Alliant’s proprietary anti-fouling formulation that helps reduce copper jacket residue inside your rifle barrel as you shoot.
