Uses
RS50 is a universally useable .308 Win. propellant. It is extreme ly benign and therefore ideal for use in many popular, medium-bore hunting calibres.
Standard calibres
.308 Win.
.375 H&H Mag.
7 mm - 08 Rem.
8 x 57 IS
9.3 x 64 Brenneke
Powder type
RS50 is an extruded, single-based propellant powder based on nitrocellulose. The surface is coated with camphor. This results in balanced temperature behaviour with moderate pressure at high temperatures.
