Has anyone used RL-17 for the Berger 6.5 Creedmoor 140 gr Hybrid target bullets and if so how much?
I loaded up some Berger 140 gr Hybrid target with RL-19 according to the Berger Load manual and used 43.0 grams of powder.
My average FPS was ONLY 2558 when it should have been close 2699.
Same day I loaded and shot some Hornaday ELD-M 140 gr with 41.3 grams of RL-17 and they shot 2705 FPS.
It was all the same gun, brass, primers and the same COAL.
I emailed Berger today and they said I have to call to get that info, they won't email it anymore. So if I can find time tomorrow I will call them.
Thanks.
