I can't find any reference loads using RL-17 or RL-19 for 225gr bullets in .338LM. QuickLOAD suggests that any slower Reloder powders won't fully burn out of a 25" barrel. So is QuickLOAD way off here? Or is there some other good reason these faster powders aren't listed with lighter bullets in this caliber?
 
What are you attempting to do, and do you know how to use QuickLoad?

There is an option in QuickLoad to run your configuration against lots of different powders and give you the velocity output.

Using 225 grain hornady bullet of the Alliant Reloader powders, the 17/19 are sub optimal regards pressure compared to velocity. i.e higher pressure for same velocity.

why do you need 100% powder burn?
