    2209 still a good choice, but RL17 or Superformance I’ve found best for getting max velocity out of shorter bbl 284s. RL16 is meant to be very similar to 17 but more temp stable so maybe a better choice given you’re starting from ground zero. Also some reports of guys using RL26 with good results with heavier pills.
