[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1419710, member: 33159"] Greyfox I'm sure you're very aware of this fact, but it was a revelation to me once I bought a MagnettoSpeed chrono. For a specific bullet, once you found the node and best load, no matter which powder you used, as long as you had the bullet doing the same velocity, it would have the virtually the same accuracy. I'm sure if you use RL26 and match the velocity of your Retumbo load, they would pretty much be the same in the accuracy department. Sounds like RL26 just doesn't quite get to the next accuracy node in your rifle, which is a bummer cuz we all like more velocity.......or at least I do!! I based my 140 VLD load off of your Retumbo load, but couldn't quite get the same velocity you do. My load is 57.6gr of Retumbo at 2976 fps. It's stupid how accurate it is, so I stopped trying to get anything faster. I use RL26 with a 130gr Ballistic Tip that gives me about 50 fps more velocity than the 140 VLD Retumbo load [/QUOTE]
