Seems 2225 is not around.
Rl22 is used a bit in this cartridge. That data may help with RL23 starting loads.
I did run with 2225 in mine for a bit. Settled on a load of 58 grains behind a 143 eldx. From memory I went up to 58.5 grains
What do you use now mick?
yes Dicko, I read its much like 22 but temp stableQuote:

2217 behind 140 VLDs was magic for me...got quite a jump in speed from 2209 and bughole groups and very tight ES
Currently use Re 22 (53 Gr) with 143 gr eld x in the 6.5 06
Found 2209 and 2213 produced slower velocity
Thanks all, yes ill prolly give the rl23 a whirl. No data for it though, so ill start low
please post results here
Will do. Barrel not on donor 708 yet which still has a roar to shoot with its red dot on
I went back to 55 gr of 2217.Quote:

I've had great results using Vhita N165 and N560. have played a little with the R26 as well.
I'm using the N560 in my hunting setup (ELD-x 143gr) and the N165 (Berger BTLR 140gr) in my Range rifle.
