I have a Brux barrel 26" and want to work up a load with RL33 and 210 SSII's

Need to know I have a very tight chamber with almost no jump. It was rebarreled off a 338 win mag and my max OAL to fit mag is 3.685" and was chambered for a short jump. Example from case head to tip on a 225 Accubond when touching lands is 3.6280"

My tight chamber means that I can't load to book max without losing the primer pockets. No problem, since I am not a total velocity junkie. Example I can only load 94 gr RL25 with the 225 gr and still keep the primer pockets and get ~3100 fps

Need a starting place with RL33 and will work up with a ladder. The Alliant site is not much help

Should I stick with RL25? Will be using Remington brass and 215M's and have to outside turn for clearance
 
My opinion is RL33 will be too slow for a 210 gr bullet. Stay with Rl25 or H1000 or even a little faster burning like RL22. If you want to load with RL 33 try 250 or 300 grain.
