If so, which bullets & how did it perform?
Has anyone tried Re-33 in 300 PRC?

Tagging in for this info as well

I would think it would be too slow? If you run RL-33 less than full pressure it tends to be really dirty.

I wouldn't use it. RL33 was specifically made for the 338 Lapua and similar.

RL33 works great for me in my 28 Nosler, very accurate powder, I don't know why it would not work great in the 300 PRC, especially with the heavy bullets. The only way to know is buy a pound and give it a try.

I tried it in the 300 WM, not quite 300 prc capacity but fairly close. Didn't work well at all. Huge velocity swings and real jumpy (like 100 FPS going up .3 grains)
In my buddies 300 PRC that I have been loading for RL26 has been king. I only wish it was as easy to find as RL33.

As a new reloader, this explains a lot. Glad to know I wasn't just looking in the wrong places.

No information but it just might be perfect with ultra heavies. Reason I say this is 8133 would seem slow for .300 win mag and it absolutely rules for me with 225 eld m. Very compressed load. Rl33 is right beside 8133 on the burn rate chart I'm looking at. 225 eld, 230 Berger, 230/240 smk, 230 250 atip.

Any update on this I run rl33 in my win mag with 181 hammers just fine. Have a 30 Sherman I plan to load with it also
I switched all my rl33 loads to n570. Got rid of the temp swings.

How bad were the swings. I've heard it's relatively stable and seems to be for me. I hunted one day in 67 then the next it was 7 and didn't have any noticeable change.
