When 17 first came out and there wasn't a lot of data for it, the folks at Alliant told me to look at the other 4350 data out there. My favorite load for the 06 using IMR4350 is a 150gr Cup and Core in front of 57.0 grns of powder.

Working up a load I found my RL17 load to be 57.5 grains.

In their 2014 reloaders guide, Alliant's booked load is 58.0 grns. They only list their max loads and recommend reducing that number by 10% and working up slowly.

Please work up slowly. Have a great day!!!

I began with 2 grains under the 4350 loads.itnis actually closer to 760/H414 in charge weights.

I use RL-17 to get 180 Sciroccos to 2900+ fps out of a 24" barrel. Just work up.
