[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1943933, member: 22069"] RL23 is in the right burn rate range for the 338 Sherman, but it is too bulky for optimum performance. Ditto RL16. As Rich has stated H100V works well. Other good options are RL17 and VV N560. Brass choice is also a relevant factor. Norma brass affords a bit more capacity, which may allow bulkier powders to work, but case durability is sacrificed in the process. RWS cases are more durable, but have less internal volume and are more difficult to obtain. I have not gotten my hands on Petersen brass, as yet, so I do not know its attributes relative to Norma and RWS. Depending upon bullet choice, going with a longer throat may affect usable powder choices. [/QUOTE]
