I ran the numbers for the powders you listed. The parameters are 7 WSM, 168gr VLD @ 2.86 OAL, up to Max Pressure 64500psi, up to 100% fill of powder.

powder____gr_____% fill__est vel___est Pmax psi___est propellent burnt
RL-17____58.8____85____2940_____64474__________100
RL-25____65.4 ___ 100___2892_____53893__________100
H4350____61_____ 95____2918_____64474__________100
Retumbo__66.1___100____2721____42805___________99.3

Remember: This is only a computer program (which is pretty darn good). These are figured at EST. MAX PRESSURES and no more than an est. 100% fill. I would start at 7-10 % lower and work up at 1-2 % increments, check velocities and WATCH FOR PRESSURE SIGNS like smoke around and/or loose primers etc.

Hope this helps,

Good Luck
