Find all Bofors load data in the powder manufacturer section.

Bofors RP3 is an extruded, single-base smokeless reloading powder produced by Bofors, a Swedish propellant manufacturer now part of the EURENCO group. Known for its consistent grain geometry and stable burning characteristics, RP3 was traditionally used in medium rifle cartridges, offering a balanced burn rate suitable for calibres like .22-250, .243 Win and similar mid-capacity cases. The powder was valued for predictable pressures, good temperature stability and clean performance. Although RP3 is no longer widely sold under the Bofors name, its formulations live on through powders produced by EURENCO and distributed under brands such as Norma or Reloader.
