QL data anyone? .243WSSM

[Huntbear]

I want to load up some 90 gr. Accubonds in my Oly Arms AR in .243 WSSM. I have RL 17 still in my hands.

20 in barreled AR

1:10 twist

Commercial PMC brass

Federal 210 primers

RL 17

90 gr. Accubonds.

I want this to be a deer rifle...

I do have some Varget if the RL 17 does not work... but wanted to save it for my .223 if I could.

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 55839 psi, or 385 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

I have been looking for a reason to try R17 in my m 70, but imr 4350 and win 760 work so well I haven't bothered yet! I would like to know how the 17 works for you though?

Thank you Dr.Mike.... I will be sure to post up results as soon as I can get out shooting.
