Uses
RS30 propellant powder was developed for the .22 calibre Hornet. It is also especially suitable for large-bore revolver cartridges.
Powder type
RS30 is a porous, 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.
Safe service life
If properly stored, the propellant powder remains safe to use for up to ten years.
Verification tolerances
