[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 769247, member: 17844"] There seems to be a pattern here two people on this forum having the same trouble using VLD bullets and Alliant powders . Two people is not exactly a big sample but it is interesting. Reloader 17 is a new powder and this is what German Salazar and Bob Jenson said about it [URL="http://www.6mmbr.com/reloder17.html"]Alliant Reloder 17[/URL] Is it possible that due to the altered burn rate and different chemical characteristics of this powder that neck sooting with VLD bullets is more likely ? They say that the burn rate coatings are infact through the powder grains not on the outside so could that mean that the powder is more prone to dirty burning ? They say that the powder pressure curve is sharp to rise but slower to fall so could that mean that a long barrel is required to get the best from it ? Anyway I think you should test some other suitable powders just to see if the neck sooting stops, Sorry I can't advise another suitable powder because I don't have a listing for R 17 and can't find a burn rate equivalent for it at the moment .
