i went to their site nothing there just an error.  called but the guy is out to the shot show in fla went to order the load data book and was told it is not out yet but when it does they will send me one .
i read in a mag somewhere that it is a good powder for the .223 but they never listed a load . i am currently using h335 but i like to see/other loads becuase i have found out what works in one great might be ok in another.

I just tried out some RE15 with 68 grain hornady BTHP match bullets - started at 20.0 grains and went up to 22.5 grains.  All these loads cycled my Sig 556 perfectly, none showed any signs of pressure.  My Lee dies came with data for the 68 grain bullets and RE15, I believe the max they list is either 25 or 26 grains - I'll double check later and edit the post.

I got 3/4" out of the sig with 20.0 grains behind the Hornady bullets - quite impressive
