2800 in a 24" barrel 30-06 is 61-63k psi. Can't imagine what it would be in a short barrel 308.

Interestingly enough, I've tried Re 17 in 5 different rifles and have yet to reach Alliant's max charge without stiff bolt lift and ejector marks on cases. In my experience, Re 17 gives me 30-50 ft/sec more velocity than H 4350. Shooting my 300 WSM this weekdnd confirmed that again.


There you go ruining a perfectly good fairy tale with real world facts. WAY TO GO!
