[QUOTE="huntnidaho, post: 2452072, member: 101826"] Speaking of Berger's load data -slightly different bullet but the load data Berger sent me for the 156 EOL and Retumbo is the same charge weights mentioned earlier in this thread 57-63.3. Max velocity is listed at 2986fps in a 26" barrel. Seems reasonable on the velocity side of things as a max. Most powders in the load data they sent have maxes in the 2800fps to low 2900fps range, Retumbo being one of the higher velocity performers. FWIW, they also sent me load data for the 140VLD. I started with minimum listed charge weight of H1000 @56.5 grains. My velocity was 2730fps over 9 shots, they listed 2750fps. Seems to be tracking pretty close for me. Sorry if this is too much digression. [/QUOTE]
