Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 200 gr 30 cal loads

Where are you finding data showing 55 gr of RL-17 and 200 gr bullets? Alliant is showing 51 gr as max with 200 gr Speers at about 2550 fps.

Going that much over published numbers is something I'm not comfortable with. The numbers and accuracy you're showing looks good, but I'd feel better seeing something in print.

Nosler shows 2600+ with both RL-19 and RL-22 and 200 gr Accubonds

When I worked that load up, there was no published info that I could find. Others on here have worked up this same load in their rifles with no problem.
Just Like, when I worked up the load with Rl-23 in my 300 Win.Mag. I could not find any load info.

When I work up a load, I look for accuracy first, not speed.

You only have to make your self happy.

Again, wishing you the best.

Thanks, I think I'll give it a try
