[QUOTE="Jeffrey Bird, post: 1482801, member: 106206"] First off be gentile. I'm new and I'm full of questions. I'm Jeffrey Bird and I'm from Utah, avid hunter and just beginning to have a few custom guns made. Yes all kids are out of the house. My question is about Norma 217 powder. I am experimenting with it in my 6.5 x 284. I loaded up Retumbo and found that 56.5 gn seems to be close to what I'm looking for(Nosler long-range 139 gn). Read a little bit on the 217 and that it burns close to retumbo, so I started low at 55.5 gn and saw zero pressure in my cases. grouped OK, now i need to tweak. So question is has anybody tried 217 in a 284 and what was your results, how many grains can i go to safely. Or am I going down a path I shouldn't. [/QUOTE]
