[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 846965, member: 10"] RL33 is not nearly as slow as US869. I would say, from my limited work with it so far in the 338 Raptor where I used Retumbo, H-50BMG and US869 all together in the same cartridge so I can compare them to RL33 which was also tested in the Raptor that the burn rate would be: Retumbo RL33 H50BMG RL50 US869 WC860 I would say that RL is closer to H-50BMG then it is to Retumbo but nowhere near as slow as US869. I would probably start at 100 grains and work up, this will be a very mild load but still, would rather be safe then sorry. If you see no pressure sign, jump up 2 grains at a time until you hit your current load with Retumbo but I would still sleep better knowing you started a bit lower, even with your longer throat length. I hate to use the term magical but I do think in the 300 AX, it may be even more impressive then it is in the 338 AX. Time will tell. Now I just have to find some of that elusive time!!!:D [/QUOTE]
