Is the burn rate between 15 and 19?
If so I could like it for a .243 AI, and 19 in my 30-06 is a touch compressed. 17 there, might work a little better too.

Not sure, its suppose to be about the same as H4831 though.

Since RE 19 is close to IMR 4350, I would expect an Alliant powder numbered RE 17 to be closer to IMR 4320 or H380. However, according to the information I have been able to find so far, it is closer to being between IMR 4350 and IMR 4831. This new powder is really something new, apparently, because it has a burn-controlling chemical that is throught the grains, not just a surface coating. The stuff is made in Switzerland, and apparently the grains are so compact you can get a lot more of it into a cartridge and still seat a bullet, as compared to some of the other, large-grain, slow powders.
Sounds like it might work well in rounds like the 6mm Rem & 7X57mm, as well as the short-action magnums! Guess I'll have to try some in my 6.5X54mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer as well as the 7X57mm.
