Bofors RP7

Find all Bofors load data in the powder manufacturer section.

Bofors RP7 is a fast- to medium-burning extruded rifle powder produced by Bofors in Sweden, now part of the EURENCO group. It was engineered for small to mid-capacity cartridges where quick, efficient ignition is essential. RP7 found typical use in calibres such as .222 Remington, .223 Remington and similar varmint or target cartridges. Shooters valued it for clean burning, consistent metering and predictable pressures, all characteristic of Bofors’ single-base propellant technology. Though RP7 is no longer widely available under its original designation, comparable formulations continue to exist in modern Bofors-derived powders sold through brands like Norma and Reloader.
