[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 824227, member: 22069"] I have heard it said, while describing how RL-17 behaves, that velocity increases in a linear manner to a certain point, then the velocity actually falls off with the next step up in powder charge, followed by increased velocity with erratic ES and SD numbers and an eventual pressure spike. According to this description, the last powder charge before the velocity falls off is the max charge. My understanding is that RL-33 is a slower powder with the same basic design properties as RL-17, so I am thinking that it may behave in a similar manner. I would, however, be surprised if you have enough case capacity to reach that point. For the time being, though, it looks like you have a load that will work just fine. You can always go a different direction when component availability returns to a more normal state. I am interested in trying RL-33 in my .264WM at some point. [/QUOTE]
