[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 638348, member: 14894"] Fla hunter, you havnt mentioned what caliber this is for. Also you need to work the load up properly if you expect to know why it does a particular thing with a small increase in charge. Retumbo is slow burning and if you don't have a 26" or longer barrel, you are probably getting incomplete powder burn which cause velocity to do funny things and causes unexplained fliers. I suggest starting 4 grains under book max and loading 3 each in .5 gr increments. Shoot these over a chrono at 100 yards in round robin and post the results. This is known as OCW method and has worked well for me. Taking a stab and praying that someone's else's load will work in your gun almost never works. [/QUOTE]
