Rl 17?

[Evan1678]

This may be a stupid question but I guess I will be the one that asks it. Why can I not find good load data on RL17 for .270? The reason I am looking for this data is because I have started loading ammunition for my father's .270 which is not a load that I have loaded before. At my local BassPro Shop the man that was helping me was unsure about which one to get. He then looked at his data book and told me that for .270 RL17 his what he had in stock. I should have done more research before buying an unknown powder. I also bought Nosler Partition 150gn bullets.

All I really need is the Low and Hi charge ranges.

I load RL-17 in 30-06, 165 grain HPBT, and Barnes TTS in the same weight. Let me look around in my book.

This should help: http://www.alliantpowder.com/reload...wderlist.aspx&type=1&powderid=25&cartridge=63

Thanks for the link. Wish it had more than just one charge. I guess I will have to start with that and move up and down from there to
see what happens.

Here is some info from one of my on line sources

Bullet Wt. Powder Charge Muzzle K. E.
(grains) Type (grains) Vel. (fps) (ft-lbs)

110 Nosler Reloder-17 57.3 3100 2348
110 Nosler Reloder-17 60.5 3410 2841
150 Speer Reloder-17 51.5 2921 2843

Thank you guys. From what I gather 51.5 gn is the max, so I don't think it will be too hard if I move backwards.

This is the most I could find if anyone else can benefit from it. I just copy pasted.

NEW TECHNOLOGY MAXIMIZES VELOCITY

Alliant Powder introduces Reloder® 17, a smokeless powder that utilizes new technology to increase projectile velocity in most standard rifle calibers and the new short magnum cartridges.

Reloder® 17 was created with new technology to provide velocity greater than the competition in the most popular standard rifle calibers and the new short magnums. Following are recipes developed in our Ballistics Laboratory (all loads used Speer bullets and list the correct Overall Length- DO NOT SEAT THE BULLETS TO A LESS OVERALL LENGTH). These recipes are maximum loads and shall not be exceeded.
