[QUOTE="jmden, post: 730267, member: 1742"] Yes, that's why I'm working on getting an idea of what others are using for a load. However, at nearly a 6g drop from my quite comfortably below max 210g VLD load, I would think that 89g might be an OK place to check for pressure, but I certainly want to see what Retumbo loads folks are using before I load some up for initial testing. Keep it coming... I did find this thread with some more searching: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/230-bergers-300-rum-86425/[/url] It has quite a bit of good info with some guys at 87 or 88 grains of Retumbo, so it's likely I should start perhaps even at 86g, but with 86g being nearly 9g lower than a comfortable load for 210s in my rifle and a nearly identical bearing surface length between the 210 VLD and the 230 Hybrid OTM, a 9 grain drop seems like quite a bit to me, but it may not be.
