Thank you and have a good new year!

Reloder 16 is less dense than other powders with the approximate burning rate of 4350 so not as much will fit in a case.
When I tried it in the .370 Sako (9.3x66), which is very similar to the 9.3x62, filling the case up to the neck produced only 2415 fps with 286 Noslers.
Reloder 17, 2000MR and Big Game are more suitable.

Cheers,
Walt
