[QUOTE="Broz, post: 618049, member: 7503"] The " only every 6-7 shots" tells the story for me. Although I like Retumbo, I have found this to be a character trait of this powder. Especially prevelant when running close to max and is aggravated durring a range session where the chamber is warm. This is why I left Retumbo for H-1000. You can get a very accurate and more consistant load worked up with H-1000. Start at 89 gr and work up in 1/2 gr increments. Your extractor in your Rem 700 is only going to put up with this for so long. Next it will most likely start leaving cases in the chamber and a rod will be needed to remove them. If it seems wrong it usually is. If any form of force is needed to extcact a case or release a bolt there IS a problem. These are not the kind of things am willing to risk an trophy on. Jeff [/QUOTE]
