[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1921767, member: 38048"] Looking back in my records other cartridges I tried this h1000 with were too slow too. Probably time to just get a new 8 pounder and try again. I use h1000 in my slr and 243ai with the 115dtacs. The retumbo loads are a good fill ratio. 62.5 puts it right at the neck or just a hair under. I don't hear or feel any compression of kernels seating but once seated I don't hear any shaking either so I would guess it's in the high 90s for fill percentage. I just ran some new wet patches through the bore and it had just the lightest trace of copper. Pretty amazing how little copper this barrel gets. I'm gonna run a Satterlee test with retumbo from 61 to 62.5 and then work on some groups with seating changed and see how it does.. Shep [/QUOTE]
