A friend has a couple kilos of Rex powder that he is willing to contribute to my 16ga endeavors. Anyone have data or recipes thereof?
TIA

Thanks

Rex ll is mainly a 12 ga. Load. I've shot approximately 175 lbs of it. Very was on recoil. Don't like the cold. Rex l is used for 16. However I used Rex ll for 16 also. I still have a little of both. If your interest ill try to find some of my old loads. |

Graf and Sons was the distributor for Rex powders years ago. They had data available. Whether they still have data I don't know. |

Thanks all for the info. I doubt much published Rex data exists for 16 ga, much less for modern euro hulls and wads. In general, most 16ga handbooks and guides focus on old or obsolete or ill-fitting components. We mostly have to cook up our recipes ourselves at no small cost.
