Reloder 17 anyone

[halifax]

So who has tried Reloder 17? Alliant claims it's similar to IMR4350.

I'm interested because it's available and my other choice of powders aren't. Also, it can be used in more of my calibers than the others: 260, 270WSM, 280, and 308.

Anyone?

Yep, that's where I started too. I've got 5# on its way, so I'll just figure it out on my own with Alliant/Sierra data as a starting point.

Just thought I'd check here too.

I've used it. Nice stuff. Packs a nice stable punch giving you increased FPS without over pressuring your load.

If you still have all your fingers and sight, I'm willing to give it a try.
