RL-17 work up for RPR with Hornady 147 ELD-M

[Loadcoil]

First post...Sup!
Thought I would share my results.
Been shooting my RPR for a while with the Hornady Black 140 bthp's. They shoot very well. Finally got ahold of some powder. Best option I could find was RL-17.
I loaded 6 rounds of each:39.2/39.5/39.8/40.1/40.2
1 for chrono
5 for groups @ 100 yards

.58"

.96"

.73"

.29"

.51"
Groups would be tighter but was shooting prone. No lead sled or anything.
Loaded 10 (in a hurry) more at 40.1
Shot a 200 yard with group with 5, pulled one bad do its actually s 4 shot circled.

1.15"
Last 5 of 40.1 went to chrono (magnetospeed)
Results were:
1. 2659
2. 2641
3. 2643
4. 2660
5. 2678
Sd: 15
Es: 37
Adv: 2656

Let #5 cook in the chamber to long. With shot 5 deleted results were:
Sd: 10
Es: 19
Adv: 2650

Bad flyers in low left hand corner?

I am over the H4350 hype too...Rl17 is easy to get at the local Home of Economy. no one seems to know that they sell powder.

Cold bore shot.

Hell, I've just never been able to find any, until yesterday. Was out of town and went into a non-chain outdoor store. They had a bunch of the H-4350 so I picked up 3 but I'll use the rl-17 til I run out before fooling with it.
