    RL 26 works well, 2213 SC is good also with 180's, most slower burning powders work well.

    Thanks for the help. I hope I've got some 2209 on the way, if not I see 2217 available but is listed for 200+gr projectiles do you just start a little lower than the minimum?

    2217/H1000 - temperature stable and good velocity, plus relatively easy to source.

    77.6 grains with 208 ELD-M in mine.

    Greetings SkiHunt,
    No you shouldn't go below start loads. Just look at the Hodgdon/ADI on line data which will list it.
