The October 2008 Handloader has an article on RE 17 on page 26. The author tried it in several calibers and was disappointed with it in 30-06 (2808 fps for 165 gr. bullet), but really liked it for the 300 WSM (3244 fps for 165 gr and 3107 for 180 gr bullet). I have some ordered and want to try it in a 7-08 that is set up to test pressures.
