.284 with 162's and RL17

[heikki02003]

Anybody have load data for this combination. I'm having a hard time finding load information. Alliant doesn't publish load info for it, and much of the data I'm finding is for 180gr bullets.

Here are my specs:
26' 1:9 Kreiger
Win brass turned to .313 loaded, .317 nk chamber
CCI BR2's or WLR primers
Hornady 162gr A-max
Reloader 17
Max OAL of 2.90

If nobody has any info, could I use the bottom end of published H4350 and 162's and work up from there? My other 'problem' is that this is in a short action, and powder space gets pretty tight with short seated bullets, so I know I'll top out on pressure before reaching max vel. This is where I hope I'll be able to ring the most out of my set-up with RL17.
Any info or comments greatly appreciated.

The 180 loads will work for the 162 Amax.

you'll get plenty of velocity with Rl-17

You should be fine on powder room - my max load with Reloder-17 and molyed 162 A-Maxes is well below the shoulder. I got the most consistent velocities using 210M primers, so you might want to start there. My MAXIMUM load with molyed bullets was 54 gr, so you'll want to start well below that level and work up.
