[QUOTE="Alaska2006, post: 1477649, member: 92741"] I tried the RL 50 because finding RL33 in my area is like finding Ptarmigan teeth or 28 Nosler brass. Figured what the heck for the cost of a pound of powder I may be able to find something workable. started playing with my QL program and Barrel timing to end up with my test load. As of today the backed down load of 87.3 seemed to deliver good result in terms of MV and group but no even close to the original load in terms of ES and SD. The backed down load of 87.3 is running at 3,056 average MV at 5,500' elevation and 77.5 degrees temp today. This is about 100 fps slower than original load but ES was 17 with SD of 10.2 (still pretty dang good) grouped slightly better at 100 yards than original but not enough to really tell if there was and improvement or just slightly better trigger/operator control. My lighter loads did not produce favorable groups so I'll focus efforts on seating depth and work within the 87.3 and original load perimeters. My desire is to get a consistent load 3,000 - 3,050 < .5" at 100 yrd and some powder charge allowable variance without effecting group [/QUOTE]
