[QUOTE="couesaddict, post: 1517298, member: 77536"] I shoot em out of mine. 26" proof barrel with a saami spec chamber. Once fired nosler brass and 90.5 grns retumbo gives me about 2960fps. They're a good long range hunting bullet but I shot a muley this year that was too far from any high point and I had to put the sneak on way out in the flats at roughly 120 yards and it absolutely blew up on the entrance side. Didn't exit and ruined a bunch of meat. 4" hole through the ribs. 400+ yds out to 750 have been very good and consistent results though. I'd start about 85grains of h-1000 and 86-87 with retumbo. N-570 and Rl-33 will give faster speeds though as well as possibly 8133. I just don't have any experience with any of them in the rum personally. [/QUOTE]
