[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2469764, member: 8873"] RL50 is a great powder in some of the cartridges with large case volume to bore ratio (overbore, high O-ratio, overbore index, whatever), especially with heavy for caliber bullets. As an example, it has higher and more consistent velocity with my .375 Snipetac and 33XC with heavy bullets. The .375 has an overbore index of around 1560 & the 33XC around 1525. As a comparison the 26 Nosler is around 1700 & 28 Nosler is close to 1500. This is just one factor you can look at as to where to be looking on a burn rate chart. The only reason why I don’t run more of it is because of availability, H50BMG has been more prevalent lately. [/QUOTE]
