[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1063238, member: 22069"] I just got back from the range. CFE 223 shot much better with mag primers. Varget shot well, too. RL-17 was the star of the day, however. It grouped in the high .3's to low .4's with two different powder charges! I still need to take and post target pics and get chrono data for the final loads. Based on previous testing to establish pressure limits, I am expecting 3900ish with RL-17 and the 53 VMAX from my rifle. Interestingly, RL-17 shot very well with 69 SMK's, too. It looks like RL-17 is going to be my go to powder in 22-250. I was not surprised to see it do well with the SMK's, but I am surprised that it outperformed Varget, CFE 223, and IMR 8208 XBR with the 53 VMAX's and did so by a fairly wide margin. [/QUOTE]
