[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1297313, member: 13833"] Finally made it out for a few minutes today from house moving and was able to send a few down range with the mag speed attached. My lot of RL17 must be a little slower than Cliffs as my velocity was down with the same load but I was able to reach 2779' and was not maxed out with 64 grains. I think QL says 65 is max?? I was lying in the mud and was only able to shoot 75 yards but 63, 63.5, and 64 grs. of RL17 shot in a nice vertical line in 1/2" or less. RL16 turns out to be SLOWER than 17 and could only reach about 2720' at low pressure and not much more room for powder. N560 was about 2750 and again could not reach max pressure with 70 grs. I think I will try some Hy100V when I get to Utah where I will be staying for a while until our new home closes!!!!:rolleyes: It is looking promising for a load around 2800' with RL17!
