Posted By: powdr Anybody using RL 17 in 338-06 - 01/20/19
Looking for loads w/velocity if anyone is using 180-200gr loads. powdr
No sir, only used it under 250gr swift a frames for 2500 fps, it's a good stout load.
I shoot it with 250 Skinners.................
63 grains RL17 210 Nosler Partition ping pong at 2750 FPS, 22" barrel Ruger M77. .5" load in my rifle.
The 230 Gr ELD-X looks interesting.
63 gr Re 17, 200 gr Speer hotcore @ 2820 out of a 25 inch barrel.. My gun loves flat bases,hates boat tails for whatever reason...

Have you tried Skinners and a Smooch,with '17?

Hint..................(grin)

That's a pretty sedate load. Probably pretty easy on the shoulder..
No, but seen enough with 250 Bergers and 230 ELD-X's to convince me....It just barely tolerates 200 Noslers.. For what I use it for,200 gr Speers into 3/4 does just fine... smile
A 21" 7-08 blows that outta da' water.

Hint......................
I get great accuracy and velocity with RL17 in my 338-06. Mine does 210s around 2800 fps and 225s right at 2700 fps. Mine will probably go to Africa this year with 225s.

BSA, That load sounds close to max to me for a .338-06. I think I'm using 62 grains of RL17 with a 210 NPT but would have to check my notes.

Oops, sorry my friend. I was thinking 338wm. You would be right about the 338-06. That 210 NPT would be hell on anything around here in a 338-06 at those speeds.
Starting velocity,ain't finishing velocity...but I do VERY much enjoy the show.

Hint!.................
I have other chamberings (and bullets) for that...It has one job and it does that very well.... smile

Let me see if I get this right,

Hint!!......LOL

Raining enough finally,to chase chrome in the AM.

Film at 11:00...................
Mine gets fed H 380...

65 grains with a 200 grain Hornady SP.

62.5 grains with a 225 grain Horn SP

60 grains of H380 with a 250 grain Horn RN.
Well I'm using 62.0gr RL17 but with a 210gr Swift Scirocco. This gives me 2860fps and right around moa accuracy from a 24in barrel. Hope this helps.
57 gr Re15 185gr TTSX @2925 don't bounce off

[Linked Image]
I shot ALOTTA 210X's at Warp Nine ala Ultra,but the 250 Skinner smokes 'em all and by quite a margin.

Hint...................
H4350 under a 225 grain accubond would go 2600-2700 out of the couple ive had
I find it fascinating,that noone gives atmospherics or arrival speed a thunk.

Hint.

Congratulations?!?.................
Stick, what amazes me is how much of an a-hole you've become. You used to be one of my favorite guys to read because it's obvious you know what you're talking about, but your schitty attitude makes it completely unbearable to read what you're saying. I'm sure you couldn't care less what I say and you'll have some cute little comeback, but I'm done reading anything you say.

Congratulations?!?
I'm not programmed to suffer Dumbfhuqktitude,nor have any fhuqking interest in condoning it. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Might I suggest a Hurt Feelers Report,followed with a scoop of Imaginary Pretend Ignore?

An Armed Society is a polite Society and when Clueless Fhuqks are gonna espouse outright bullschit,I'm rather at ease in slapping them upside the fhuqking head with Facts found in the first hand.

Just sayin'.

Hint....................
It does not change the fact that you have become an insufferable p-rick.

With the 180 Eld it is compelling. I have a long action that may need to go 280

Your Hurt Feelers make ZERO fhuqks to me. Hint. Congratulations?!?

If you wanna talk Whining Fhuqking Retard,I'm not gonna help you.

Now you "know" too.

Bless your heart.

Simply steals the show,due Facts and Physics...which is more than a touch "troubling" to Window Lickers everywhere.

Bless their hearts.(grin)

A 280 configured to digest same,offers an amazing amount of performance,to recoil ratio.

It ain't even "fair".

Better than I expected.
Still gets your attention
62.5 grains with RL-17 and a 210 Scirocco is 2830 fps from my 21" 338-06.

That sounds like a damn good hunting load, I only get 2800 with a 210gr partition in 24"s of barrel with H-380.
