[QUOTE="long ranger, post: 189223, member: 800"] I have not found the best success with Retumbo, it may work well in other calibers, but my experience has not been that good with it in Lapuas and Edges. The US869 I burn by the ton in my 50s and 20mms, and figured to give it a try in the big 338s and was surprised at how well it worked out. Ball powder like the 869 meters easily and fills the case easier than large granular powder, so makes loading cases easy, it burns clean as well unlike 870 did, and any time I can save a few $$ on powder , thats a good thing too. So all in all for me the US869 wins in all areas for me. [/QUOTE]
