[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2564365, member: 115819"] It could be just me, but I didn't have good results with rl17 with any bullet when I had a CM except when I was wrecking my primer pockets. I think it was fast but I couldn't get it to shoot under a minute and a quarter with any weight bullet while 4831sc got me to .4 easily and 4451 did about .6 at expected speeds. This was with 5 bullets across 60 grains of weight. I think it's probably a little slow for that weight anyway. Plus even regular hammers are a little bit "lighter" than their weight. Absolute hammers much more so. 15.5, 16, varget, h4350, staball, any of those should work plus they are temp stable (stable-er) which is important come elk season. Correction, looking at the absolute hammer load data page on here rl16 works but is a little too slow burning for the 123. H4350 is a little better. Both are ideal for the regular hammers, the 124. Looks like StaBall and Varget both score well for the 123 AH. [/QUOTE]
