    I’d start with the Alliant website.

    Alliant Powder - Reloader's Guide

    Hornady don’t list RL-16 for the ELD-X in the book I’ve got.

    Actually im talking shit. Zero compression, thats my 2209 load.
    42 RL16 seems real light compared to the 2209 brew. Start safe anyway

    Be careful with the Alliant data I found the creedmoor stuff to be super hot
    With the 142gn data I couldn’t fit a max charge in the case with room to seat the bullet
