[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 371527, member: 12069"] I had a fellow on this forum run Quickload for my 06 with RL17 and a 200 grain accubond. At 54 grains I was running 2712 FPS from a 22" barrel and Quickload estimated 65KPSI. The quickload velocity estimate was very close to my actual velocity so I think its estimate it was pretty close. I decided not to run the charges any higher since I like to limit my pressures to around 65K. I would think a 308 with 4" more barrel would run similar velocities to an 06 at similar pressures. I would also mention that the MSDS sheet for RL17 indicates 17 is different than the other RL powders chemically so I would not draw any conclusions about the temp sensitivity of 17 based on the the other RL powders. I have been very impressed with how clean it burns and it seems to meter better than RL22 or 4350 has for me. I would think this is going drive further inovation in powder performance by other manufacturers in the near future. [/QUOTE]
