Reload Swiss RS14 Rifle and Pistol Powder (400g)
The Reload Swiss RS14 is a specialized, porous single-base propellant designed specifically for subsonic loads, reduced charges, and Cowboy Action shooting. By combining minimal bulk density with high vivacity, this nitrocellulose-based powder ensures excellent case filling and consistent ignition, providing a reliable solution for shooters who need to maintain safety and accuracy at lower velocities.
Important Note: Reloading powder requires a valid permit or license for purchase and only at the store. Always verify load data against the official Reload Swiss database before use; the self-loading function in semi-automatic firearms is not guaranteed for all reduced or subsonic loadings.
Key Features:
- High Case Fill: Boasts an exceptionally low bulk density, allowing for 50% to 100% case volume filling even with light charges, preventing dangerous positioning issues.
- Subsonic Optimization: Engineered to provide stable pressures and reliable burn rates for subsonic rifle and revolver applications.
- Advanced Porous Structure: The extruded, nitrocellulose-based grains are designed for high vivacity and rapid energy release despite low total energy content.
- Swiss Precision: Manufactured to strict batch-to-batch tolerances for shot-to-shot uniformity and predictable ballistic performance.
- Broad Compatibility: Excellent for use with lead or copper-plated bullets across a massive range of pistol and rifle calibers.
