.308 168gr and 175gr with RE-17??

[3-0-hate]

I just picked up a 5lb jug of RE-17 and 2000 wolf LRM primers for next to nothing. I know its not an ideal powder, but I was wondering if anyone had any load recipes for this combo. Its a slow powder, so I could either try it with the .308 or save it for a year or so and use it with the 6.5Swede build Im planning.

Thanks!

RE17 is a little slow for the 168 and the 175s in 308. With the 175's, I have seen accuracy with 47gr. Max fill is about 50.5 in commercial brass, and you shouldn't get anything in the way of overpressure.
