[QUOTE="REV, post: 134699, member: 4341"] GG, I'm going to print that out to read over later, it made my head hurt. The Label on the Retumbo said to stay between 84-89 grains for the 220. I had no signs of preasure all the way through 88.5 gr's. I did not load a 89 gr as I thought the chamber was a bit on the tight side as the factory loads are giving me a sticky bolt lift in warmenr weather. I did not take my crono out there but I guess I should have. Results of 50 yd inside test: #1 was 1.00 inch high 1.00 inch right #2 was 1.00 inch high 0.50 inch right #3 was 1.00 inch high 0.25 inch left #4 was 0.50 inch high 0.25 inch left #5 was 0.50 inch high 0.25 inch right #6 was 0.50 inch high 0.25 inch right #7 was 0.50 inch high 0.25 inch right #8 was 0.50 inch high 0.25 inch right #9 was 0.50 inch high 0.25 inch right shots 5-9 could be covered with a dime 86.5 to 88.5 grains.
