Speed wise, I think RL33 is going to pick up where RL25 leaves off, at least looking at QL. It looks to be about the same compression as RL25 with more speed. I know I would like to give it a whirl as well. RL25 is really good in the 264WM, can't imagine doing better accuracy wise, but if I can gain speed and maintain accuracy, I am all about it.
First sighting of RL33

Fotis,
I'm running v 3.6/DLL 1.00. I discovered that the older version did not load all the data because I had upgraded my OS to Windows 7. Consequently, I was compelled to upgrade. As soon as I am able, I'll get you a screenshot of the data.

A new powder, a different burn rate--it's what keeps the hand loader trying new things.
