So then I tryed MRP same thing even more accurate. Then RL26 a little less accuracy even more speed. Now I,m using RL23 best of both worlds.

So I suggest you try some of the slower powders, especially if you hunt out of state like I do. One more thing give RL17 and RL16 a try.


Great info, thanks.
