RL 19 is as scarce as hens teeth. Does anyone know where I might find some. 1lb, 5lbs, or more. Thanks Terry
I would even trade 22lr for some.

Call Jerry's Reloading in Tulsa.....they might have some.
I tried Jerry's, no luck. I'll look at the IMR powder. My 270 WSM is the pickiest rifle I've ever loaded for.
Thanks

Thank you
I've got one too and have everything to load for it except powder. RL19 seems to be the best choice and if your barrel is long enough Retumbo might work too. I've been looking for both for over a year.
About 2 months ago when I bought a pound of 19 they had plenty. I wish I knew then that it would be the only powder my rifle likes.
So you bought a pound to try it out.
I got burned like that once. Got 1lb of varget and the .308 loved 44gr behind 165gr bullet.
Then I ran out and got another pound.. 44gr load sucked terribly.. ended up at 42.5gr to make it happy with the new powder.
then I ran down and got many pounds of Varget.
Any time I think I want to try a new powder I will get 4 pounds minimum with same batch number just in case it is good.
If it sucks I sell it here for what I got it for.. and sometimes 2 bucks more to pay for my gas to pick it up and meet someone somewhere. And sometimes I take a loss by a few cents. It all averages out.
But buying 1 lb is totally not acceptable anymore. Just think the RL19 you will get next time may treat you like Varget treated me.
You can always sell it or keep it for non sub moa.. as if I can hold MOA sitting on a tree branch with the wind blowing.

Well I did buy 4 pounds. 4 different powders to try! Lesson learned. Won't happen again.
