[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 339842, member: 11717"] Tayhot, what velocity is Nolser showing for 87 gr of Retumbo? On their site they list 96 gr of H1000 pushing a 180 gr bullet 3225. I'm sure that's out of a 24" barrel. Interesting... I can get very close to 3200 with 67.5 of RL17 out of a 24" 300 WSM. Anyway, I was getting about 3400 fps with H1000 and I think the load was a lot less than 96 gr. The H1000 seemed to pressure early in my rifle with those bullets for some reason. Another thing to consider is your chrony might be off a little, but getting 3280 with 96 gr is in line with my 3400 with 97.5 gr. With 97.5 gr of Retumbo pushing the E-Tips @ 3400, my best groups have been.... 212 yds .4", 331 yds 1.5", 427 yds 1.8" and 500 yds 3". I've only shot one group @ 500 and it was a little windy that day, maybe 5-10 mph. Actually it's been a little windy almost every day I've been out shooting. I believe a lot of that is the Sendero which shoots just about anything well. Those aren't BR winning groups, but they're well on the way of getting me to 1K. I haven't fooled around with seating depth and I think I can tweek the load a little better. I think bedding the recoil lug might help too. I was shooting the E-Tips with 98.5 gr for a little while but it was giving me some pressure signs so I backed off. [/QUOTE]
