[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 37274, member: 10"] Speed Demon, H870 would be a great powder, especially in the 257 and the 6.5mm versions but it tend to be a little ****y with temp variations and its getting very hard to find. I will be using Retumbo for the lighter bullets and H-50 BMG for the heavies, I will even try some AA 8700 with the heavies to see what it does. Rest assured, there will be some 100 gr Bonded Core FBHPs screaming down range. I'm going to run these girls through their paces so do not worry about the light bullet tests, they will be there as well. Probably not down to the 85 gr pills but certainly the 100 gr bullets will be tested, just to see how they perform. If I can get velocities as consistant as the STW will with the 100 gr pills, I will offer data for that bullet as well but I suspect velocity spreads will be quite high with this light bullet in the larger case. With the improved shoulder angle, this may help efficency though compared to the STW. We will certainly see what happens. Good Shooting!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
