RL-17 in 6.5 Creedmoor

[sharpshooter_308]

Right now im shooting a 120 gr ballistic tip in a 6.5 CM hunting rifle I got for my young boys to shoot. Anyone tired RL-17? Just got some to try in 30-06 and was wondering if anyone had a place to start?

Thanks

I've got some loaded with r17 and 120 amax. Been to cold out to try.

Where did you get your data or what was your starting load?

I use Re 17 exclusively in my .260.

My nest load in my .260 is RL17 , so you should find something that works

I have used RL17 with 120 Lapua Scenar L's, and was able to get 3275fps from my 26" barrel, but the extreme spreads weren't great. I'm going to try it again with my 30" tube, as well as with 142 SMK's. Despite having mediocre spreads, it still shot well at 600 yards.
