Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only 35 Whelen Reloading 250s and RL-15 ?

I have some RL-15 and Hornady 250 Interlock SPs to load in a Rem 700 CDL. I purchased the gun and components a few years ago meaning to get after it, but as yet haven't fired it. I seem to recall that there was a "classic" recipe with this bullet weight/powder combination.

Here are some older references I have:

MCR, 3rd Ed.: 250gr w/RL15 min 53.0 max 57.0
Hodgdon, 26 Ed.: 250 gr w/RL15 min 53.0 max 57.0

Here are a couple more recent references:

Nosler, 5th Ed.: 250 NPT w/RL15 min 49.0 max 53.0
Alliant Website (today): 250gr Speer 250 w/RL15 no min or max, just 54.0 grains

Obviously the lawyers have helped cut the recommended load weights.

If you're loading this combo please let me know what weight you're using and how it shoots. Thanks.
