RL19 and the 308 Win...

[bohem]

Anyone run 178 Amax over RL19?

I'm loading for a friend and I can't find RL17 or RL15 around anywhere. Neither of us are in the mood to get hooked on the Varget addiction, and I have a few pounds of RL19 sitting here...

Thoughts? Starting points?

It will be a 20" barreled bolt action, factory chamber with a lengthy throat.

Nevermind, I realized I have 4895 sitting here staring at me...

RL19's a bit slower than I4350, do you know what kind of velocities you were getting from your loads, and what barrel length?

4895 is faster and should do fine, but I'm still curious to know how the I4350 did.
