R 17 powder for a 284- 284 Shehane

[vahena]

I am looking for some first hand experience using R17 powder in a 284 or better yet 284 Shehane, Load data, accuracy and possible node.

Do a search. DennisH has done well with it.

Thanks Terry...

Never used it in a 284 Sh but I use it exclusively in my 284 win. Anything I can help you with, I'd be happy to.

Never had accuracy that stood out with RL 17 in the Shehane but RL 16 was the cats meow!

Sending PM, Dennis

I would think RL16 would be better, considering the temperature stability characteristics. I struggled with that in my Dasher, however not with 16. Just my thoughts.

I built a custom Mauser with 24" E.R. Shaw 1.5 contour in 284 Win for hunting.
Looking back, i should have ordered a reamer from PTG, instead of the standard SAAMI spec 284 reamer. Loong throat due to them originally chambered in lever and semi auto actions.
I've been getting very good results with 150gr Nosler ABLR and RL19.
Lately i've been experimenting with Alliant Power Pro 4000 with excellent results.
