[QUOTE="longrangehunterII, post: 1336525, member: 61185"] I tired RL-17 in my GAP built 260 Rem. since I had it laying around after running out of H4350. I used the load at two Events with mixed results, shot the last of it just this month. 425+ rounds. If the ammo gets hot the speed goes up, +70-80 fps from a average of 2815 with the 139 Scenar. That was ammo that was hot to the touch BTW. i.e. Sitting in the truck and the gun too, and yes that was to test it. I missed H4350 this week at the LGS by a day and it was all gone! I haven't seen any in almost a year now! RL-17 did give an added 100 fps vs. H4350 with the same powder charge. Although IMO was not worth the trouble since a shooting Match can start early morning and finish late afternoon with huge changes in temp outside during the day. That said I have tested H4831SC with great results, but loads are compressed, and a bit slow. [/QUOTE]
