……….. My first two choices are Varget then RL15...…...
Any experience with RL16 and Norma URP in relation to RL17?
I'm liking the 208 eld-m seated long. My load is 45 gr RL17 @ 3.043 COAL for ~2625fps. Moving to RL16 and Norma URP for temp sensitivity and potentially better SD's. Is RL16 the same as URP? Does RL16 generally require ~1 more grain of powder to match RL17 velocity? Just looking for general guidelines - I will be loading down and testing as normal, just trying to keep waste to a min.
edit: loading some up now - RL16 is much larger than RL17, and URP is a bit smaller than RL17. With a 208 ELD-M, and 3.043, the case is full of RL16 with ~45.5 grains. I started @ 43.5 and have some compressed at 46 and 46.5 grains w/ Coal of 3.05, 3055, respectively. Will see how they do. The URP won't have a case fill issue.
