RL-17 in 308 Win results

[billymarr]

Shot the following groups bullet used was 168gr MK Primers were BR2 and
Tula LRM.
The Tula primers showed better results. The 45gr loadshot very well in both the Howa and the Saiga 308.

Decent grouping, and you're probably aware that Rel-17 is not the ideal powder for 308 Win, but in these times, you shoot what you have available. It might even work better with a heavier bullet because it's a bit slow burning.
www.alliantpowder.com shows a few loads using Rel-17 with different bullets.

RL-15 will do better with 168's while RL-17 will work better with heavies such as the 208gr Amax.

yep I was fully aware next testing will be 174 gr bullets. And yes right now you use what will work. I tried some AA 2495 did not do as well but still ok.
