Some people swear by R22 but H4831sc was the powder for 200's. It's gonna be a case full of slighty compressed powder but it should fit and (within reason)made about 2900fps/24".

R17 is H3450 plus about 50fps.
I shot 180's at about 2950 with H4350, 3000 or so now with R17. Same accuracy and from 10-90F I would't be worried about temp sensitivity from either. Colder than that and maybe H4350 would be better.
Only reason I switched was because powder was hard to find a couple years ago but local store had a bunch of same lot# '17 on the shelf.



Like Brad said, Alliant data was too hot for my rifles, about 2 grains over what worked.
