Reloader 17 recipes for .308...

[NorCal Steve]

I have come into some Reloader 17 powder and all I find is a few published Speer /Alliant recipes for .308 loads. I was wondering if anyone else had worked up anything using this powder for .308 loads?

This is the only one I've tried:

308 WIN SIE308HPBT 168MK 50.0gr

although I have used it in 260, 270, and 280.

Works pretty well.

Thanks Jim. I will check it out.

Guys are using it to good effect in the 308 Winchester, using the heavy (for cartridge) 208gr AMAX. Many of the better results have been at altitude, however. A 1:10" twist for the 208s is pretty much a requirement.

There are a lot of proven powders for the 168s, so while I have 3# of RL-17 to fiddle with, I will be experimenting first with the 208s and see what I see here at sea level.
