[QUOTE="g0cherr, post: 1485434, member: 22133"] I know this is an older post but after doing some research I decided to try the RL17 with the ELD-X 178 in my Browning A bolt stainless stalker in 300 WSM. I couldn't find any recommended loads so going by what I found on Alliants site I started at 63 grains and worked up from there. The 63 grain load produced an average of 2966 MV and shot .5MOA groups. I made it up to 65.5 grains at 3130 MV with no pressure signs but the groups after 63 grains opened up to 1" - 1 1/2". I was wanting a load around 3000 fps so I am happy with 2966 fps with .5MOA groups. So far I am happy with the results I am seeing. I have read that this powder can be temp sensitive so that will be my next test for it. My current load is 64.5 grains of IMR 4350 with the 180 grain Speer boat tail but I was only getting 2800 fps and I couldn't go any higher with 4350 due to pressures. [/QUOTE]
