Sorry, all I have is American reloading info and no British military data

















Alliant now has the contract to produce ammunition at the Lake City Arsenal, beating out Remington and Winchester for the contract.

Alliant Reloader 15 (RL15) is now used in the M118 special long range sniper ammunition. NOTE, this ammunition is now loaded to 52,000 CUP or the same chamber pressure as .308 Winchester. The old long range M118 was loaded to 50,000 CUP and was loaded with IMR-4895 or WC-846 which is BLC-2.
