[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 949932, member: 1007"] While I have played with a factory Rem 700 5-R, I never tried anything over 190s. RL15 was the choice powder for that rifle and load. I was getting 2657. RL15 was the slowest powder I tried. That was before RL17 was introduced. I never thought back then of trying H4350 let alone heavier bullets. Of course back then we didn't have these wonderful bullets! It is very hard for me to say if H4350 would burn completely in a 24" barrel but could be worth a shot. Maybe 215 magnums would help it burn a bit faster. I think it would be worth a try. If not, I would try the 190 vld over RL15 or maybe RL17. N540 and N550 are great as well. 540 up to 190s and 550 for the 200+ variety. You'd loose roughly 100+/- FPS against a 28" barrel. M [/QUOTE]
