Alliant Reloder
Alliant Reloder TS 11
A temperature-stable varmint powder, with short-range benchrest loads as a secondary use.
A temperature-stable fast rifle powder aimed at the .22 centerfire varmint cases and short-range benchrest — .222 Remington, .223 Remington, .22 PPC. The TZ chemistry is the reason to choose it over the older fast Reloders: velocity that holds from a cold morning through a hot afternoon, which is exactly when a varmint load drifts on you. It is a newer product without much accumulated user experience behind it, so treat published behaviour as a starting point rather than folklore.

Grain shape
Short extruded grains with a thin web for a rifle powder, which is what puts it at the fast end and lets it fill a small case properly. Short sticks meter better than long ones, but a spherical will still beat them for throw consistency on a progressive.
Why geometry decides burn rate more than chemistry does: Shape Is the Product.
Built on Alliant's TZ technology, which the company says counteracts the natural tendency of a propellant to raise pressure when hot and drop pressure when cold. Contains a de-coppering additive. At the time of research Alliant's product page carried no direct load-data link for this powder - use the Reloader's Guide entry point.
Burn rate
Between Power Pro Varmint and AR-Comp; a fast-to-medium rifle speed.
Chart agreement: LOW CONFIDENCE - appears on Vihtavuori's chart ONLY (banded with N120). It is not listed by Hodgdon, by Alliant's own US Reloader's Guide, by Shooters World, or by Wolfe/LoadData. Likely a European-market product. Position is approximate and rests on a single source. Ranked by: Vihtavuori.
Powders charted near it — neighbours on the chart are not substitutes, and adjacency tells you nothing about what charge either one takes:
- Hodgdon H4198 (position 90)
- Shooters World SOCOM (position 91)
- Vihtavuori N120 (position 92)
- Norma 201 (position 94)
- Alliant Power Pro 1200-R (position 95)
- Vihtavuori N130 (position 96)
This powder is obscure enough in the US that its practical character is thinly documented. The note above is deliberately short rather than padded.
Sources
The specifications above come from Alliant's own published documentation, linked below. The two “RCM's read” sections are ours, not theirs — our assessment of what this powder is like to load, drawn from its published characteristics and from what handloaders consistently report. No manufacturer endorses them and no source below backs them. If you think we have one wrong, tell us — we would rather fix it.
