Thread: Reloader 16 vs Reloader 17

I have Rel 17 on hand but might have to try out this magical 16 powder. Maybe.

I just tried some 140 gr Berger’s in my new 20 inch barrel .284 with RE17 but couldn’t get them shooting.

Switched to 140 gr BT’s with RE17 and its thumbnail groups.

Even tried the Berger’s with AR2209 but still no luck

You might have better luck but I tried all sorts of seating depths going through nearly 50 projectiles
