[QUOTE="Lightvarmint, post: 215599"] John, If you have the 1.750" Hall "G" then you are lucky individual and I am sure a proud owner. I have three Hall "E"s as I missed out on the "G" models but I do have the Hall "E" repeater. Anyway, I have a very similar setup as yours. 32" Kreiger with the 30/378. I get 3274.9 out of the 220 Henson bullets that should BC up to a low .9 to high .8. It sits in a McMillan McHale stock with nightforce optics and jewell trigger. We get over 3400 with the 212 in a mid .8 BC and who knows what is possible (3600 +)with the 180 with the .711 BC (240 SMK equivalent BC). For me, I like the 220s since it will be easier on the barrel. Almost forgot, the Retumbo works so well, I got 48 lbs of it. That should answer your question on powder. It just seems for my applications that Retumbo beats everything else for the Lapua and 378 Weatherby cases. Of course, we hunt in 100 degree temperature swings and that influences us to use the extreme powders by Hodgdon. Hope this helps. Drop me an email and we can get into more detail. James [/QUOTE]
