Same exact load of RL17 gave 3401fps. shot in Sako A7. Today.

RL-16 and RL-17 loads can run pretty close.

Based on that, I'm not sure which one is slower; you'd think RL-17, but it can't be by much.

Interesting. I was wondering how 16 compared to 17. Haven't had an opportunity to try either one.
