Just bought a Ruger .338 RCM and looking to see if anyone is loading for it. I have found limited data and am trying to find as much as I can before I get started.

Welcome to the Guide. Nice to see a familiar name from RLB.
I'm no help with the new round, but someone around here might have some info for you.

Do not fire unless fired upon.
But if they mean to have a war let it begin here."

Glad you recommended it! Always looking for resources and good people.
something no one does anymore.
call hodgdons.
call hornady.
often powder makers have data, but no way to get it out.
Hodgdon's has data on their website and Hornady sent me some basic data when I emailed them.
I was sent some data on Re17 from a guy on another forum but wish Alliant had some of their own tested data for the RCM. When I emailed Alliant they sent me Hornday's data for the Re15!
If Re17 is formulated with the short mags in mind it seems they would publish some data for it.
