RL-33

I can get some local. Who is using it and what are you loving it in?

I tried a load from Marc Taylor for the .338 Lapua with 285grn ELD-X. It works, very, very nicely.

It is great in my 300 norma

Care to share the details?

Been using Retumbo in my 338LM with the 285gr ELD-M, but got a pound of RL33 to play with.

Anyone using it in a 300 WM with 230/240 Bergers? Or is it to slow?

or 338 Edge

When I had a rifle chambered in 300 WM, I tried it, but couldn't get it to work too well using 200s.

I've had good luck with RL33 in 338LMAI, 338LM, and 7RM w/195's. A buddy has been running it in his 300WM w/ 215's. For the big stuff, you'll run out of case capacity just before pressure, which isn't optimal but it isn't bad. The belted's you won't get as much velocity as say RL26, but it's still a good stable powder if available.

Use at your own risk i.e. you assume all responsibility for using this.

Now the disclaimer is done. 97.4grns RE33, it gets you around 2780sh fps. Not as fast as my Vhit N570 and 300grn Scenars but so far, last time I should that load from Mark it shot really nicely.
