[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1062877, member: 22069"] So far, my experience with RL-33 has shown it to behave as a considerably slower powder than Retumbo in .264 Win Mag. I started my workup at 66.0 grains and went up in one grain increments from there, solely to establish pressure limits. Once I found max, I backed off 10% and performed an OCW workup. The 66.0 grain load clocked in the 2600's from a 26" barrel. There was a lot of headroom from there to max. ETA: I did the pressure limit workup with Berger 140 VLD's. If you are using more blunt bullets, such as Partitions, you may wish to use the starting charge for Retumbo (as listed by Hodgdon) and work up. [/QUOTE]
