I am having good success with RL-17 in longer barrels. It tends to give a later, lower peak pressure while producing higher velocities. 1/2 MOA is attainable with the 108 grain ELD loaded 0.020" off the lands while running 2600+ fps out of a 22" barrel. I am comfortable using 28.0 grains as a starting point in that a compressed load does not show signs of pressure in my rifles. I will be trying magazine length loads in the next few weeks.
