243 or 243AI and RL17 loads

[LenBackus]

I just received a pound of RL17 and plan to try it with some Berger 115's. I did a search and didn't found much on this combination. Can anyone share their experience, please?

I have used it in my .243's and have found that a H-4831 max load is a good max load for Rx-17...it is aprox the same powder density so use the same set point on your powder measure and it give aprox the same wt of powder,, which is the right ammount of Rx-17!!! Remember...This is a max load...I have got good groups and lots-0-velocity ....cant complain...Roger

I have not chrono'd any loads yet. I see if accuracy is there before I chrono. I started at 39.5 grs. RL17, wolf primer & 115 DTAC BN. I stopped at 41.0grs. no extra bolt lift but it is just starting to slightly flatten the primer corners. This load shows enough promise that I will chrono the next range trip.
