[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2033957, member: 96226"] RL-23 seems to like (like pretty much every magum-y gunpowder) a full case and a heavy bullet. After that it doesn't seem real opinionated about what it's paired with. I got identical results with Winchester LRP's (they say for standard or magnum loads so I assume they lean magnum-y) and Federal 205MAR SRP and F210M LRP. I'm running 39.5gr under 115 DTAC's in 6XC for 2980fps and ran 45.5gr under a 115 DTAC or 108 ELD-M for 3200fps in .243AI. RL-23 is no good for 7mm-08. It's not nearly overbore enough for RL-23. 7-08 would probably LOVE the hell out of IMR 4166 in lighter bullet loads (140's and down). That's right up that particular alley and it's a hell of a good powder. 4166 is super temp stable, makes sick high velocities and is clean burning. According to Hodgdon's site, StaBall6.5 is fantastic in 7-08. [/QUOTE]
