RL-33, what's it good for

[IdahoSharpshooter]

I have an opportunity to buy a couple kegs from a friend. He is selling his 338 LM and swears it is wonderful.

Any thoughts here?

thank you all,

Rich

300Norma Mag and 230 OTM !

Big over bore cartridges and heavy bullets. It gives more velocity and less pressure. Matt

What Matt said and in my experience, the go to powder for the .26 and .28 Noslers.

 

[Zero333]

I use it in 300winmag with 240smk

 

[Preacher]

My 338 Ultra Mag's loves that stuff with 250 SMK"s...

 

[Bbear]

I use it in my 264 WM. Velocities in the 3200 range with 142 LRAB's and accuracy sub-.5" groups.

 

[jaclthr]

I use it in my .338 LM, 300 Bergers.

It pushes the 80 grain A-Max in my .22-.284 to 3750 fps w/o any pressure signs.

 

[IdahoSharpshooter]

Thank you gentlemen for your responses. I can buy three full kegs and one about half full for about 2/3rds retail. I am going to do that this afternoon.

MrMajestic,

I thought I was the only one with a 22-284 these days. Been using RVO-62 for about the same velocity with my JLK 80gr. I guess I am going to have to buy some of the Berger 90gr and test.

 

[sbhooper]

I have gotten great results with it from my 7 mag, 26-inch barrel, shooting 160 and 175-grain bullets. When I am out of RL25, it will be my go-to.

 

[NGCSUGrad09]

I've used in in Win Mags and Lapuas with much success. Very consistent and great velocities.

338 Norma Mag here w/300gr. Bergers

 

[Rick284]

I love RL 33 and have run it out of a couple of .264 wm's, and my 7mm rem mag... With one of the 264 wm I'm getting a little over 3300 fps with a 143gr eldx and with the 7mm rem mag I am getting a little over 3050 fps with a 180 gr berger and producing about 3 inch groups at 1000 yards

 

[sdean]

I'll have to try it in my latest .257. 25-26 nosler. Ought to be overbore enough!!

 

[R.Morehouse]

300RUM , 300Lapua good powder. I found it to be very temp stable here in Pa.
