[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 429813, member: 1007"] RL-17, VV-N540 and VV-N550. With RL-17, I have seen unbelievable velocities with 168's through the 210's. I have personally shot the 208 AMAX at 2730 FPS and the 168 AMAX over 2900. This was a bit warm though. Since, RL17 is a fairly chuncky powder, I cannot get the needed charges in the case and seat bullets to a magazine compatible length. I switched to VV-N550 for the heavy bullets such as the 200 SGK and the 208. I use VV-N540 for 190's down to the 168's. With N550, I have run the 208 at 2700 but is warm. 2650 is better but my accuracy is at 2610. For the 168 and 178, 46 and 45 grains of N-540 has been the shizzle. Hope that helps! M [/QUOTE]
