Does anyone use RL-15 in the 404 Jefferey?

[SkullKeeper]

Gentlemen, I use RL-15 in my 450#2 and love it. I was interested in load data for the .404 Jefferey using it. Thank you in advance for your input.

Barnes No. 4 lists RL15 for the .404J:

400 grain TSX FB from 68 gr. (2107 fps) to 74 gr. (2292 fps)

400 grain BND SLD from 70 gr. (2245 fps) to 76 gr. (2406 fps)

Woodleigh lists several RL15 loads:

400 grain RN SN from 75 gr (2160 fps) to 83 gr. (2410 fps)

400 grain FMJ from 75 gr. (2150 fps) to 83 gr. (2415 fps)

450 grain RN SN from 75 gr. (2120 fps) to 77 gr. (2190 fps)

Pierre van der Walt lists a number of loads in his book:

400 grain bullets (unspecified) 76 gr. to 80 gr. (to 2379 fps)

I use Norma 203B in all bullet weights with great success in both of my rifles chambered in .404 Jeffery. Norma 203B and Alliant RE15 are damn near identical.
