[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 278377, member: 12069"] Tom you are nearly spot on the Speer manuals velocity at max 54.5 grains. I have been very close to the speer manuals FPS with max charges but I have found that when I compare RL17 vs other powders based on pressure signs the RL17 has higer velocities. I also tested 168 grain Nosler BTs at 3010 with 59grains RL 17. That is the first load I have managed to outperform the Hornady Light Mags with in my rifle. RL 22 delivered best velocities for me until I tried RL17 and it seems to be approx 75 fps faster from 168 thru 200 grains. This BT load may be my whitetail load next fall. [/QUOTE]
