Re: Why Not Reloder17 in .338LM?
That's just it. I'm NOT looking for extreme velocities. I have Reloder33, and I'm using it. There are two reloading manuals, to my knowledge, that divulge which of their test loads were most accurate. Usually, when I am starting a new load from scratch, I consult them. If Sierra is getting the best accuracy from a faster powder, and still able to get you to 1900yds, what criteria are you using to determine if a powder is too fast? The fact that it burns faster may be the very reason why it is more harmonically suited to a given caliber & bullet weight, and may also possess a wider margin for optimal charge weights.
Jagged, thanks for the info. I'm curious about what kind of accuracy you got, and would love to hear more from anyone who has been able to find the sweet spot using a faster powder with the 300gr bullets. This round is an absolute hammer. I really don't need to push it.....yet.
