[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 455842, member: 307"] I did some initial testing on 11/20/10 but haven't been able to continue due to various reasons. Mostly deer season, holidays and honey doo's. For that day; 12:00pm, 73deg partly cloudy, winds ESE 3-5mph, 48% humidity, BP 30.32. Rifle: Winchester Model 70HVB, .243Win. Powder: RL17, Primer: CCI BR2, OAL: 2.2435", Remington cases, fired 3X and annealed, neck sized. 41.5gn 3185/3234 (3210fps) ES: 49.37, SD: 34.65 (two shot fouling group) 41.5gn 3249/3216/3238 (3234fps) ES: 32.81, SD: 16.79 .5625" 42.0gn 3284/3278/3268 (3276fps) ES: 15.96, SD: 8.06 .3625" 42.5gn 3304/3262/3309 (3292fps) ES: 46.39, SD: 25.80 .5745" same day, 2:40pm, after barrel cleaning. 42.5gn 1 fouling shot. 42.5gn 3300/3276/3267 (3281fps) ES: 32.95, SD: 17.05 .3685" 43.0gn 3310/3330/3317 (3319fps) ES: 19.12, SD: 10.14 .4420" 43.5gn 3370/3372/3369 (3371fps) ES: 3.76, SD: 1.41 .8905" Shooting/testing was done at 100yd range and as you can see from the listed results, 42.0 and 42.5gn seem to provide the best accuracy. This was my first time trying RL17 also. Future plans are to try other powders that have produced better accuracy with this range bullet weight in this rifle, stretch the range to 500yds and take a critter of some sort. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
