[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1169999, member: 50867"] IMO you're on the low end of the Hodgdon Retumbo curve for that rifle. I don't see anything promising in the groups you've posted on target thus far. Check the Hodgdon load data and work within the published load limits for that bullet with a BTOL that's about .020 off the lands. Once you've got something that looks pretty good, you can use the Berger load test to find the seating depth that works best.
