MD and SP,

I don't really want to talk semantics with either of you. I respect your opinions, all I am stating is that in my own personal experience RL16 produced way slower velocities than I anticipated based on Alliant's listed velocities and my experience with this same rifle and other powders.

Others may vary, and that is fine. With this same rifle, I've been very close to expected (or tested if you prefer) with CFE-223 and Alliant's 2000-MR, just not getting anywhere close with RL-16.

As a matter of fact, velocities are around 200 fps less than listed.

Those are the facts - so I'm not sure what either one of your points are.

Thanks,
bludog
