Anyone try the new R-17 in the .338 W M?

I've used reloader 17 in my 338 win. with 225 ttsx. The accuracy was excellent & got right at 2800 fps.

My standard load is with imr 4350 at 2850 fps,with similar accuracy but it was pretty hard to find for a while this summer. I hope to push a ttsx through a Nm. elk next month.

Hi Lane wave

If Franz can get me some bullets to work with, I'll run some pressure tests for you. How pinched are you for time? It will be next week before I can get to it. I don't know exactly what it will do in the 338WM but I suspect it will do quite well. It was dang near a wonder powder for the 375 H&H, at least for teh heavier weights.
