[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2176921, member: 5219"] I realize that you may not be able to find the powder you want. Thought I'd mention some other powders that should work in case you have them. I shoot a 6mm-284 with almost identical case capacity to your 240 Roy with a 1 in 7.5 twist 5R bartlein in a 28" barrel with 105 Bergers. Randy Derks old world record @ 1000 YDS with 54 grains of Reloader 22 - Federal 210m primer - Sierra 107 grain Match King bullet - 3425 fps I have had good success with 105 Berger using Retumbo, and RL-33. RL-33 yielded more velocity. 56 gr of Retumbo with 105 A-max 3233 fps. 62.5 gr of RL-33 with 105s for 3450 fps. Please work up the loads carefully if you try them, every rifle is different. I would think any slower powder in this range would work. Perhaps RL-25, RL-26, and H1000 as well [/QUOTE]
