Thanks for the information I just picked up some Reloader 33 so I'm going to give that a try. Retumbo worked pretty good in my 264 win mag. I got my best velocity 3,250 fps and groups. .134" at 100yds. So Retumbo is another option. I feel like a kid in a candy store. I love working up loads...

I recently rechambered my Ruger M77 264 win mag to a 26 Nosle. My question is has anybody reached the velocities stated by nosler? Today I started working on a load using US869 and 140 grain Berger VLD hunting. So far I got these results not impressed because I can get those velocity with my...

I've used Berger VLD hunting bullets in all three of my 264 win mag and they are devastating on game. I've used both H1000 in my Ruger and Retumbo in my weatherby and RamShot Magnum in my Remington rifle. Retumbo gave me better groups and higher velocities. Personally I will always use Berger...

I said I would post picture of how those 140 grain Berger VLD Hunting bullets perform on my wife Mule Deer hunt. These picture show that those Berger work!. My wife shot a nice Buck this morning at 241 yards with my 264 Winchester magnum. The load was: Retumbo Winchester Brass Federal 215M COAL...

I will after hunting season just to see how far I can go. right now at 71.5 grains of Retumbo I have no pressure sign but I've reached the velocity that I was trying to reach around 3,225 fps. I've noticed from all the loading manuals is that their loads were too tame for my rifle. The only...

It has a 1-9 twist

This all the powders I tested to see which one worked best in my Rifle. I settled on Retumbo it gave excellent groups and no pressure signs. 1. IMR 7828 SSC 65.5 CCI 250 LRM Winchester brass OAL 3.30 Group .426 Velocity 3,020 fps 2. H4831 Winchester Brass 3.300 Remington 9 1/2M 1 63 grains...

Finally got what I wanted using Retumbo 1. Retumbo Winchester Brass Federal 215M COAL 3.300 71.5 grains velocity 3,215 fps group .185

I prefer Winchester Brass but Nosler brass is pretty good. I recently tried 7mm Remington Magnum brass and that seems to work best.

finally got the load I want H1000 140 grain Berger Bullet VLD Hunting Winchester Brass Federal 215M OAL 3.300 70.5 grains velocity 3,161 fps My rifle is a 264 Winchester Magnum built on a Weatherby Vanguard action with a 26" Shilen Barrel

the best I could get with Retumbo with the Berger 140 grain VLD Hunting 68 grains Nosler Brass Federal 215 M OAL 3.300 2,969 fps. I started again with Retumbo and H1000 this is what I got so far. Retumbo Winchester Brass resized from 7mm Remington Magnum Brass Federal 215M OAL 3.300 70 grains...
