Some of you guys need to shoot more. I certainly ain't going to get into an argument with people over this subject.
In the days when the only data was from AA, we tested a lot of powders. Some worked well and others that should have worked were dangerous.
There is no need to experiment anymore. Enough companies have good load data where a guy doesn't need to risk their eyesight and or body parts.
I stand behind my statement about RL 10 X and the Grendel unless one is shooting very light bullets. I bet Alexander will do the same since he did the same when we started experimenting with that powder.
I tried RL10X with 107 Sierra's. 27 and 28 grains. I shot five shots and that was it. No blown up rifle, no blown primers but the feel and sound was not right at all. The Lapua brass was heavily swiped, primers cratered, and were one shot brass. The velocities were very high. Competitive in fact. However, the powder was spiking pressures way too high and fast. It was extremely dangerous although by the various burn rate charts, it should have been fine. It wasn't.
So, this thread is locked.
