[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2817048, member: 5219"] Been using RL-17 ever since Bob Jensen and German Salazar reviewed it on Accurate Shooter. [URL]https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/reloading/alliant-reloder-17/[/URL] I have a long throated 338 RCM that has been fed a straight diet of this powder for just under 500 rounds. About the same for a SA 284 with same powder. I am not seeing excessive firecracking in the throat with either rifle when using my hawkeye borescope. The barrel heating index that quick load produced says for equal pressures RL-17 has a heat index of 3990 which is similar to many powders like RL-22, BLC-2 or Tac. I was surprised to see Varget's value is 4050. I would not worry about the barrel and go ahead and use RL-17. [/QUOTE]
