[QUOTE="B-P-UU, post: 1145040, member: 29114"] I've played with it a little... .243 AI worked up to 3315 fps with a 105 hybrid w/ out seeing pressure in a 24" barrel. However, I couldn't find accuracy at this speed. I didn't spend a lot of time working with it though. .280 AI I found pressure at over 3100 FPS with a 168 H-VLD in a 25" barrel. I couldn't believe it, so had to shoot it twice. I haven't spent any more time with it since I had a good load for hunting season w/ Retumbo, but plan on working with it more. Velocity verified with a Magnetospeed. From my own little testing and what I've read elsewhere, it's a little more difficult to tune. I've read reports of long barreled .243 WIN's getting north of 3400 fps. Seems to share the same magic (large area pressure curve) as RE-17, but is slower burning. I'm very interested in the real world temp stability of this powder. [/QUOTE]
