[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 250522, member: 10723"] Goodgrouper, I looked at your data when you shot RL-17 in you 300WSM and I found some interesting things when I compared it to my data. 1. You reported 3077 ft/sec with 67.0 grains out of your 24 inch barrel. I got 3087 out of my 24 inch barrel. I found all your velocities very close to mine. I used Winchester case and 215M primers as well as 168 VLD Bergers. 2. When I looked at ES and SD on some of my loads I was very impressed. With the 66.5 grain load it produced 3063 ft/sec with a ES of 16.0 and an SD of 6.0 . Your velocity was very close to mine with the 66.5 load. I have had very few loads that show a SD of 6.0. I need to go back and shoot this load again and check for accuracy. 3. I looked at my 260 load again and found the ES was very impressive ! I only shot 4 times and the ES was 6.0. Again that has to be one of the lowest ES that I ever achieved. The four shots went into about 3/4 inches so again this is another load to look at. So even if this powder does not give the super velocity that was claimed it does offer something worth while. [/QUOTE]
