Azshooter,

I did read about the tests with the strain gauge. Just not sure I'm willing to believe it, based on nothing more than the "free lunch" syndrome. But I would be delighted if it were to proven accurate. I'm a true believer in free lunches, just don't think they occur that often.

Lil Gun, which I use in my 22Hornet, has a relatively flat pressure curve, which I take full advantage of. I'd be glad to make the RL-17 my powder of choice. Just would like to get some verification of the data from other sources.
And then, I'd try to buy some of it, which seems problematical for the time being.

I'll stay tuned. And thanks for the info.

Steve
