[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 313036, member: 11717"] I am by no means an expert on this subject, but I think RL 17 is at it's best in the medium size cases with the medium range bullets, ie, maybe up to 160 in 7mm and 180 in 308. I've seen a lot of different results for 17 posted and I know it gave me incredible velocities for the 180 E-Tip and 210 Berger in a 300 WSM with a long throat and a 24 3/8ths barrel. There may be something about 17 that burns more efficient in a shorter and wider column of powder? My guess is, that when you start using larger/longer cartridges and heavier bullets and longer barrels, the slower powders will catch up. I would sure like to see some more conclusive testing and results, but for the time being, RL 17 has my attentiuon. -MR [/QUOTE]
