Rex powder is the French Version of the European powders. Excellent stuff. ... felix

Rex 0 is similar to Bullseye and WW 231.

Rex 1 is similar to Red Dot and Clays.

Rex 2 is similar to Green Dot and International.

Rex 3 is similar to Universal.

don't take any of those as grain for grain equivalents, I'd question whether 231 is slower than Red Dot for Example. This was the reference I was given though and it should give you some starting point ideas.

I'd thought of buying some rex3 as a cheap unique to see how it did.

I thought it was eastern European, Hungary or Romania maybe.

**SPRINGFIELDM141972** · 01-23-2008, 05:33 PM

Hungary, Checawhateveritscalledthisweek, Bulgaria its all Communist Russia to me. I still don't trust them.

**Lee** · 01-24-2008, 01:56 AM

Hungary, supposedly.
Eh, the prices don't look all that good. Maybe I'm living in the past, but add in shipping and the Kommunist Hazmat charge, and I'm not seeing any bargains. Just my $0.02......................Lee

I'm 30 minutes from powder valley. I think I'm going to pick up a 25 lb keg of the stuff next time I'm there.

With that much, I may just have to keep it in the shed.

**richbug** · 01-24-2008, 10:27 AM

So if I wanted to replace SOLO 1000(everyone says its similar to Green dot), I should try REX2?

Lloyd
my rugers do as good as average ,most of the time better than i can& some powders shine ,like h110& ww296 for upper pressures & hp38 & 700x for the plinking,& heres the but i run across a dealer that sold me what he had for 14.95 a lb. as long as i bought it all,so id have to buy alot to save over this deal!
i know i need to compare same burning rates & im looking past when this powder is gone to.
me & my 2 girls go thru it faster than i ever could have imagined, theyre bored with 22s & 38s
its 357&44mag for excitment now .
i caught my oldest comparing 460s&w & 500s&w ballistics last sunday evening$$$$$$ to feed them big boommers!!!!!
i can see a redhawk in super dress & 480 caliber ,the new 5 shot cyl. in near future,maybe !!!!

So has anybody actually tried Rex powder yet?

I'm fixin' to place an order from PVI for small rifle primers, and thought I might add on a kilo of Rex III just to play with in .38 Specials mostly. I read somewhere that Rex is single-based powder; if so, Rex III might be a good replacement for Solo 1250.

There is loading data, google Rex.

**wiljen** · 09-27-2010, 05:00 PM

There is plenty of loading data here. Do a quick search on Rex as I compiled a good bit of data about 2 years ago and posted it.

I understand that. Let me try again. <ahem> "So has anybody actually tried Rex powder yet?"

By that, I mean has anyone here tried it?
