Looking for load info for 250 Savage and R17. Not a lot of info out there, that I found at least.

Anybody here ever use R17 with 115 grain bullets?

Thanks lotech.
I have some of the Sierra data. Unfortunately they don't list pressures. Was hoping someone might have some modern load/pressure data with R17.

Maybe someone could run a quick load for your chosen bullet and Reloader 17 for you. I don't have quickload or I would.
