The accuracy would sometimes be great, sometimes not. I also got big shifts in velocity/pressure with temperature.
I abandoned the RL17 and went to H4350, then H4831sc. Out of the two, I stuck with the 4831sc. It has been low pressure and crazy consistent, with single ES/SD numbers. I took about a 100fps hit in velocity, but speed ain't shit w/o consistency...
You'll be better served with a Hodgdon powder IMO</div></div>
what grain load did you settle on with the 4831sc? I have about 5 pounds of it and a Creedmoor in the works. </div></div>
I really don't remember off the top of my head, and don't want to guess. All my reloading gear is packed away right now due to some remodeling. If you search through my posts in the reloading section, I think I may have discussed it once before.
edit: I looked, didn't find the actual charge. I'll get it for you in a couple weeks though.
