[QUOTE="reed mosser, post: 121728, member: 1589"] Shot the gun again tonight and got 3300 fps to my suprise with 50.0 grains of Retumbo. Retumbo showed less pressure than ramshot magnum and got more velcioty with less powder. I just can't figure Retumbo is supposed to be a slower burning powder. As far as B.C I really don't know. I put in .525 to match my drop to a 1000 yards at 3000 FPS. But maybe my zero changed from home range to the shoot so I really can't say. I didn't lose any bullets tonight at 3300 FPS but accuracy stinks so far. If the wildcats won't shoot at 3100 fps and above I may just have to rechamber the barrel back to a 22 dasher and shoot the 100's at 3000 FPS with 35 grains of Hunter. [/QUOTE]
