I have tried various other powders; Win 780, ADI2217, IMR/AR4350, RL23 with 160 - 168 gr projectiles but the current load produces superior velocities with sub moa accuracy at 400m. Depending on whether you have a full length action or a medium action you may find that you cannot achieve maximum loads with some powders due to OAL limitations reducing case capacity, RL 26 is favorable in that respect

Mates rifle was built on a long action rem 700 so can fit plenty of powder in I would say. How did you got with 2217?
