Re17 seems fast for the 6.5x55 but with light bullets (130gr or less) out of a 22 or 24 inch barrel I found it gives just as just as much velocity or more then the slower powders as well as great accuracy and SD's. I really think the last 10% to 15% of the slower powders just end up as muzzle flash in barrels shorter then 26 inches. It also works really well in the 30-06 and 300 Win mag w/ 165gr or 168gr bullets. Don't blow it off just cause it seems too fast. Try it and I bet you'll like it.
