[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 412931, member: 3745"] SHRTSHTR, With my Wby action Kahn with a 27" tube, I am getting 2900 with 102 grains of Retumbo and 300 grain Bergers. I have pushed that up to over 3000 with 106 grains of Retumbo, but the accuracy of the Bergers became a problem at that speed. My second Kahn is made on a Nesika action with a 30" tube. Not sure if it is just the longer barrel or stronger action or combination of the two, but it will take a higher load and will typically shoot 100 to 150 fps faster with the same bullet but more powder before I run into pressure issues. Like I said previously, I should be getting it back from Kirby fitting a new barrel in the next few days, so I have not tried any Bergers in it. My typical load with it for the past few years has been 250 grn SMKs with 108 grains of RL 25 @ 3360 fps. When I get it back I am planning to work up a new load using Retumbo since it is more temperature stable than RL 25. [/QUOTE]
