[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 326675, member: 11717"] I started using RL17 in my 300 WSM. I was using H4350 and RL17 got me 200 fps more vleocity. Got a 25-06 (same as a 30-06 case) this summer and tried Retumbo, H1000 and RL17. Retumbo was the fastest powder listed by Nosler for 110 gr bulltes in the 25-06. RL17 beat it by 200 fps. 3500 fps vs 3300 fps and it shot very well. I even tried it with 180 E-Tips in the 300 RUM which is not what it was designed for. It matched Retumbo and H1000 at about 3400 fps and 86 gr of charge. I went with Retumbo because it came close to filling the case at 97.5 gr. RL17 will be my first choice in just about any cartridge unless it doesn't shoot well in that rifle or proves to be temp sensitive. Mark [/QUOTE]
