I received my order of RL-17 and had the chance to load 20 rounds last night.
So this morning went to the range about 11:45AM.
Outside temp. 89 degs. F., barometric press. 30.03, and Sunny.
Thanks to all for your help!gun)

That's just sweet shooting!! What was your range?

My gun loves RL17 as well. There hasn't been a bad performing load yet with it.

How does the a-max perform on game?

Great pics. I am glad to see it worked for you.

The range was 100 yards, using a Bushnell 4200 Elite 6 x 24. I also have a 1 piece 20 MOA base under it.

Do you plan to do any testing in different temperatures to see the fps per deg shift?

I read this article and it has me questioning the go to temperature sensitive powders and suggest it has more to do with cartridge, bullet, powder combo for temp stability. In my 6.5WSM i am getting a 6fps per deg temp shift with RL-17. I would be curious to see if you have the same problem.

Nice groups by the way. That is outstanding ballistics in a 23" barreled system
