Can someone with Quickload tell me how Norma 217 compares...

IdahoCTD · Jun 18, 2014

To N-570, R-33, Retumbo etc. in something like a .300 Norma, .338 Lapua, .30-378. I just heard about the powder and was wondering where it falls in burn rate. Norma list it at 2950ish with 230's in a .300 Norma, which is pretty good for a book load anymore.
