[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1414456, member: 10291"] I use mostly Retumbo in my 6.5x284’s. Either Federal 210M or 215M’s can be used with this powder depending on which provides the best accuracy/ES. In my 24/26” barrels the burn is complete with either, and will work fine at the colder temperatures. I generally find that the 215”s produce velocities that are 30-35FPS higher and will adjust the charge weight accordingly, typically .5-1gr to account for the difference. Using the faster burning H4831sc, which an an extremely accurate powder in my rifles, I find that the Federal 210M gives the best accuracy. Velocities run about 50FPS slower/2950FPS with this powder compared to Retumbo at 3000FPS. [/QUOTE]
