Any one have experience with reloader 17 and 300wm, I have load data for it but wonder if anyone has experience with it.
Thanks in advance

Been there done that. Dont waste your time or components. R-17, while it will get you great speed will have it all over the damn board when temps fluctuate. It is very temp sensitive. I droped 30* and lost 90 fps and ES/SD went to hell. Bugholes at 60* were 3/4" at 30*. Stick with H1000 or Retumbo, depending upon your projectile.

If I could find other powders available I'd use them. I got great groups(1/3 moa) with 185 Berger's and re25 but with all the hording going on I can't seem to get those powders. Have 6lbs of re17 so I figured I'd see if any one has had luck with it
