RL-17 Any 470 NE loads yet?

Hi Guys:

I hear Alliant came out with a RL-17 powder. Anybody play around with any loads for the 470 NE with this powder yet? I use 89 grains of RL-15 with the dacron stuffer right now. Just wondering if RL-17 is loadable to around 2150 to 2200 FPS without adding the stuffing.

I did a seacrch on the reloading, big bore and Double Rifle forums, nothing about any new loads.

Regards... Jim P.

How does the Burn rate/pressure rise curve compare to RL-15?-Rob

Quickload shows that the pressure would be a little less than RL15. It would take about 95.5 grains to get to the 2150. However it must be a little more dense than RL15 because you only pick up about 1% more case volume so I would assume that dacron or something alike would still be required for filler.....
