Help me to look up a load in your load book for my k31!

my load book doesn't have the powder I want to use for my gun.

I want to use RE-17 pushing a 175gr match king.
Could you guys send me a picture?

From Berger data. H4350 is close enough to get you started safely.

With all due respect, while the burn rates are similar, (see http://www.alliantpowder.com/product...reloder17.aspx ) I personally don't like to use data from one powder for another. If you are dead set on RE 17, you may want to contact Alliant and get thier take: http://www.alliantpowder.com/questions/default.aspx .

What do you think will happen? They are just going to tell him they have no data and refer to similar burn rates. In fact, they even recommend IMR 4350 burn rate on the link you provided.

I've been loading 47.5gr of RL17 with 175gr SMK bullets seated to about .020" off the lands in my Stgw57 and also in my Desert tactical SRS. I've run a few rounds with this load through a K31 and a 1911 long rifle but not for any sort of accuracy. It seems to be a good starting load and I'll work it up higher for the DT rifle and maybe just a tad more for the Stgw57. I'm using Privi Partizan brass and winchester LR primers. The DT rifle seems to be working great with this load and while I haven't put it on paper yet we can hit golfball sized rocks at 200-300yds with great consistency.

Hope that helps some.
