[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 362510, member: 10723"] The Alliant website give 68 grains as the max load of RL-17 with a 165 BTSP Speer bullet. When I started loading my two 300WSM rifles with RL-17 I started at 62 grains and worked up using two different bullets. With the 22 inch barreled Ruger 77 MarkII I stopped at 64.7 grains under a 168 TTSX bullet. I stopped not because of pressure but because I got very good accuracy and 3000 ft/sec velocity. With the 24 inch barreled Winchester 70 I worked up to 68 grains using a 168 grain Berger VLD bullet. I was able to get over 3100 ft/sec.. Again I stopped not because of pressure but because I got better accuracy at 67.5 grains. In both case I was using Winchester brass and Fed 215 Primers. [/QUOTE]
