[QUOTE="CliffM, post: 1293284, member: 11533"] I did not use Rl23 based on QL predictions. I wasn't comfortable packing any more than 112% into a case. In other rifles Rl 23 & 25 are pretty fluffy and don't come close to Rl26 in velocity. 7828sc didn't make the 2800 target (2750), but would be very good. Out of curiosity I looked at my notes on 338Wm from years ago and then checked 120 loads listed from others and only 4 made 2800fps with 250gr bullets. Norma MRP, RL22, &RL19 were the powders used. Trying to compare RL16 to 17 is difficult, but 16 appears to exceed 17 a little with the same weight bullet. I should add the three powders had 2-3gr spreads going into 1 1/2"- 2" groups with a lefty shooting righthanded and a trigger as light as a feather, (not the best combo for accuracy). Cliff [/QUOTE]
