[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 729960, member: 29890"] Yeah start with 35.5grns of RE17 under 140s 38grns under 120s. I use RE17 in 6br and 260 with light bullets, and I've noticed what a lot of others have as well, if you aren't using 17 in a round that you can use a compressed load you get great velocity but often the ES and SD numbers are horrible, with compressed loads ES stays in the low teens, 17 is better for some of the low capacity cartridges that can benefit from an H4350 burn rate but do not have the space for the 4350s, 17 gives a denser charge. As for shot to shot consistency you're going to be hard pressed to beat the consistency of H or Imr 4350 even though your velocity will be lower. But if your chasing speed VV N550 would be another good one the try as well as Ramshot Hunter. [/QUOTE]
