I'm pondering the probabilities of RL 17, 22, 23 & Retumbo.
I've got Nosler 190 Custom Competitions, FC Military brass, Fed 215s. I don't have the OAL yet but somewhere around 3.34 seems likely.

The Retumbo load is for a friend and he will be using Hornady 208 grain ELDM. If somebody could run those I would be most appreciative, thanks!

RL22 looks pretty good.
It is my favorite with the 180 gr bullets.

I have a 5lb jug of RL22 so I should be able to get some decent testing in with that. :)
