[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1300577, member: 5219"] By the time I got to try RL-33 with the 105 Berger hybrids the barrel had many rounds through it so the throat was a quite worn. Also want to add that seating depth is set so loaded ammo would fit and feed from a Wyatt's mag box in a SA Remington. Jump to lands .065" I ended up with 64 gr of RL-33 as my fastest yet accurate load for velocity of 3485 fps. Requires a drop tube to get the powder to fit. There was one poster that tried to work up that far and his rifle showed signs of pressure so anyone reading this please work up carefully. I made up a different load for a 24" Rem 243 takeoff that I rechambered for the 6mm-284. Used 95 gr classic hunter bullet and 54 gr of RL-17 for a velocity of 3435 fps @ 45 degrees. My friend shot his largest coues wt (made book) ever with that load. ----------------------------------- AND for anyone interested shot some 55 gr ballistic tips from that same 24" barrel and a second 243 takeoff I rechambered for one on my rifles. 55 gr nosler bt fed 210 primer Lapua brass 53 gr of Varget Velocity 4178 fps This load was amazingly accurate and super flat shooting. I shot several rock rats and jackrabbits with it with very explosive results. trajectory: 100 0.7 125 0.9 150 1.0 175 0.9 200 0.6 225 0.1 250 -0.5 275 -1.3 300 -2.4 325 -3.6 350 -5.1 If I were to try a different bullet I would certainly give RL-26 a try.....
