[QUOTE="MtEmilyhntr, post: 1178117, member: 95284"] I have had very good success with RL17 powder and the 250 grain accubond in a Winchester model 70 extreme weather. I had started out with data from some previous posts stating that it was similar to Imr 4350 and worked my way up to 68 grains of RL17 in Winchester brass. This load was clocking at 2825 fps. I am now shooting Nosler brass and found that the Nosler brass required 69.5 grains of RL17 to match the same velocity. This load has proven to be very accurate in my rifle with groups under 1 inch at 200 yards on a regular basis....recently 3 shots all connected inside each other. This load has now been shot in 3 different rifles with no signs of pressure or excessive case wear. Velocity deviation is normally between 2815-2825 fps. This load should be considered as a max load based upon all load data I have seen. As an FYI......the Nosler brass was approximately 20 grains less in average weight than the Winchester brass and the case capacity difference required the additional charge to match velocity. WLRM primers 26 inch barrel [/QUOTE]
