Reloder 19 in .308

Does anyone have load data for RL 19 pushing 168 grain jacketed bullets in .308?

I know it ain't an ideal powder for .308. That's not the point. The point is that I screwed up and want to know if the rounds are safe to fire.

I'd also like to mention that I just noticed it is spelled R-E-L-O-D-E-R. If I paid more attention to details I probably wouldn't be asking for this load information...

Thanks for the awesome link. The max I loaded was 42.0 grains and I'm not sure when I accidentally made the switch from RL-15. Looks like those rounds are potting soil.
