[QUOTE="highfinblue, post: 2915653, member: 67530"] I tried so many powders in my Savage 110 long action, and Retumbo is what finally delivered decent accuracy and velocity. Consistently under 1 moa, and what was weird it was better than that at distance. I was told the bullets weren't settling down until farther down range, I'm no physicist, so I don't even understand what all that means. I seated the Berger 140's somewhere around 10 20 thousandths under lands, so long ago I cannot remember exactly, but it gave me plenty of case capacity for the powder and I never did run into pressure. I could get more powder and velocity, but accuracy went south past 2950 fps. Can't tell you how many said this was impossible, but that little gun did it, and it shot well, but it was on a Savage Predator and the first time I took the action out of the stock I decided I wasn't going to keep the gun, way too complicated for taking a barreled action out. Great little caliber, I wouldn't mind having another, but on a better action. I don't have any data, but like I said in an earlier post it might be something to try if all else fails. [/QUOTE]
