[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 940232, member: 9281"] Just to give you guys a quick report on what RL17 produced in the old H&H. I loaded up 5 rounds in 1 grain increments starting at 59.0 up to 63. Seating depth is mag length (3.675"), I used 215GM mag primers and Norma brass. First shot of 59 grains produced only 2629fps with very mild pressure signs. Shot the 60.0 grain round and it was definitely over max. It produced 2715fps. Obviously there is no speed advantage to using RL17 in this set up. However, one has to try to know for sure. RL22 has only produced around 2590fps at max load. H1000 has been the most consistent (inside 7 ES) and at 69.5 grains has produced 2670fps with very mild pressure signs. I wish I could get my hands on some H4831SSC, I have a feeling this would be the great fit. It also may be that I am just not going to get over 2700fps (with any powder) without excess pressure period. [/QUOTE]
