[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 3051730, member: 5219"] Summitsitter: I would suggest the Retumbo over 7828. I have been using RL-33 in my 257 ever since it came out. It surpasses Retumbo and RL-25 for velocity and is accurate. I have a custom reamer with a shorter throat and a 1 1/2 degree leade. Now on the second SS 3 groove Lilja barrel. First was 28" this one is 27.5". It is a no turn neck and shoots moly coated 115 Bergers @ 3675 fps. It is an awesome flat shooting death ray for coues wt!!! There have been 9 barrels done with this reamer to date. All are 1 in 10 twist. Several friends own the other rifles. All rifles are using the 115 berger. Most use RL-25, one uses H-1000. To date my rifle and the others have taken 33 coues wt, 8 elk and 2 antelope. I recently acquired a new 24" takeoff tikka barrel in 25-06 for $75, which I rechambered. It is using IMR 7828 with the 115 Bergers. Accuracy load is 68 gr of SC IMR 7828 115 VLD for 3280 fps. I have a ton of RL-33 and will try it eventually for a comparison to the longer barrel. [/QUOTE]
