[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 379775, member: 20245"] i will be shooting whitetail and hogs, nothing bigger for the forseeable future. Ranges.... will see how confident i feel in my abilities and how much time i get at quantico (local 1000yrd rng). Well i definetely wont be pushing the limits of a 300 wby imp shooting a 240gr pill. If you need a number, 1200 and under. That's what i was wondering about, well im going up 30grs in bullet weight from a 210 berger vld and gaining .8 in BC (G1).... seems like a relatively big gain for the weight. I tried H1000 and Retumbo in my 300 win mag and got up to 83grains of retumbo into the win mag case (long throat) under a 20thou jammed 210 VLD with no pressure at all. I can get more, i now have a powder funnel with 5 1/2" drop tube, before i was using the "tornado" method :D Heck i may just have to order some and give it a try. [/QUOTE]
