I would like to try the new RL17 for my 25-06 with the 100grs TSX.
I normaly use RL22 and IMR4831 with my 100grs TSX with good result, but I just got RL17 from a friend who used it for is 300WSM.
In the latest Reloader's guide from Alliant Powder, they are listing RL17 for 100grs Speer bullets with more speed than with RL22.I can't find any other data since this is a new powder. I could work up a load but it will take time and lots of bullets. So if somebody has some experiance with that powder and the TSX,your advice is welcome.
Thanks

I recently tried RL17 with the 100gr TTSX in my rifle but did not get the accuracy I was looking for. For what it's worth, I worked up to 53 grains with no pressure signs but stopped there. Of course you would need to start much lower. Alliant says that load is good for 3390fps but I did not put it through the chrono.

That was the max load listed by Alliant and all I loaded up to while testing. IMR-4350 produced better accuracy for me with the 100 ttsx.

Thank you Botill, I guess I will have to work up a load,I included a copy of Barne's email I just received: Although we don�t have any data using the new RL-17 in the 25-06, 100 grain TSX/TTSX, it is fine to use Alliant�s data for lead core bullets. They show a maximum of 53.0 grains. Reduce by 10% to start. As always, be sure to start at the minimum and work up slowly, watching for signs of high pressure. Here is a link to their data area: http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/default.aspx Thank you for your patronage.
