[QUOTE="acloco, post: 344807, member: 6137"] Close to 100 grains of Retumbo. I am 655.1 miles from home....don't have the info here. We started with RL25 (because the owner of the rifle bought several jugs of it), but found Retumbo was easier on the cases and a touch more accurate, especially at distance. You can see the RL25 taper off from 92 to 92.5 gr as well.
