[QUOTE="kellyz, post: 1023485, member: 63751"] While waiting to find some RE33 to mess with the 230 gr hybrids, I decided to work a load with Retumbo and the 210 gr hunting VLDs. I've seen good results with 96.0 gr and a COAL right at 3.600" although the signs of pressure were a little more than I'm comfortable with. First tying to maximize COAL and still be able to cycle rounds through my magazine I came up with a COAL of 3.680". I then began at 91.0 gr and worked up in 0.5 gr increments to 96.0 gr. At 96.0 gr, the pressure appears much better than I observed from others. The primer is just starting to flatten and no ejector marks. 3 shot 100 yd group at 0.541 MOA with two touching. I was thinking of next trying to shoot more groups at 96.0, 96.5 and 97.0 gr to find the most accurate load for my rifle. My question is how many others are using 96-97 gr of Retumbo with the 210 gr VLDs? [/QUOTE]
