[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 292407, member: 5219"] NHeninge, The regulator is a prest-o-lite inert gas R-36-500-580 Tank is a 20 pounder I can do 5 or 6 sessions like today. Today's session was two shots and cool for total of 11 coolings, 24 rounds. I don't always use it. Usually only when in a hurry with one rifle or during the hottest part of the year like right now. -------------------------- BH: RL-17 is not going to work in the RUM. If you are looking for a powder like RL-17 with its longer burning/pressure curve wait till the slower one comes out. I don't know what Alliant is going to call it but it was announced earlier this year that they are coming out with a slower burning powder that has similar qualities to RL-17. If you studied the earlier posts and my first results I had with the 7 Rem mag you would have realized that there really is little gain in velocity with RL-17 over RL-22 or RL-25. RL-17 is billed at a great powder for the midsized cases like the 6mm rem, 6XC, the WSMs and the 284 win and its offspring. I just had to see if it would work in the 7 mag and so far it doesn't jump out with greater velocities like my 284 did. Still testing. For what is it worth I get 3200 fps with the 200 gr accubond and RL-25 in my 300 RUM. It is a 27" lilja SS. I think what you are now using will be far better than using RL-17 [/QUOTE]
