Reloder 17 & .308
Favorite recipes?
Accuracy loads? Best bullet/powder match-up? Wanting to begin experimenting with RE-17 and "book" values are still hard to come by. Alliant gives recipes for 150, 165, 180 (BTSP) bullets. What have you tried and how did it work? |

Too slow for me. A 150 at 2743 compared to almost 2900 with RL-15 or Varget.

Ya sorry I was very lucky as a new reloader and found a load some one posted here that is very accurate with my 308, its 43 grains if IMR 4064 and a 165 grain bullet. I do however use a magnum primer since that was what I could get at the time. But it out shoots me so I have not messed with the load.

it might be slow for a 150gn bullet.but it sure pushes a 208gn A-max well.
if you do ot mind recoil.tyr it with a 200gn - 220gn bullet.but start with a ladder test at 44gn of R17 working up in .3gn increments watching for pressure. |
