Info is pretty scarce. Is it reasonable to get 3140 fps with a 168 gr TTSX out of a 24" 300WSM with Reloder 17?
Cases look fine, I backed off a grain from where I thought it was too much.
Accuracy is adequate, if a little disappointing. But I haven't played with seating depth, primer, or maybe back off another half grain.
............Each rifle is its own individual. So you load accordingly based on what YOUR rifle, casings, primers, and bolt lifts etc tell you regarding pressure.
Some rifles will not achieve the RL17 charge that Alliant lists, where others might go 1/2 gr or to maybe a full grain over the book max.
No reason to complain with a speed of 3140 with a 168. But if backing off a grain gives you better accuracy, I wouldn`t complain at roughly 3100.
IME, while RL-17 offers greater speeds from my 300 WSM Ruger Frontier compact with enough reasonable accuracy for hunting, the H-4350 offers the better overall accuracy in all of the Berger hunting VLD bullets & bullet weights that I use from the 155s, the 168s, and up to and including the 210s.
Can`t get your 3140 using a 168 because of my 16.5" barrel length. But I won`t complain at a little over 3000 using a 168 VLD ahead of a maximum dose (for my rifle) of RL-17. Groupings now average 3/4" to an inch, whereas before the bedding and free float job the average was from 1 1/4" to 1 3/4". Still good enough accuracy for hunting.
Best speeds for accuracy using the 168 VLDs and RL17 average in the 2940s when backing off of max a little.
Reduce your max RL17 charge by a grain to 1.5 grains and see what happens. Probably see some better accuracy.
