[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 911713, member: 38130"] Brit, I do believe that you can get close to 257 Weatherby performance. With 7828 I was at 257 Weatherby speeds with about 10 grains less powder. It also would not shoot consistently. I think it was having pressure spikes. Could put 2 in the same hole then the third would be 1.25" over. When I mistakenly left my rounds in my pocket I had speeds of 3500 and one at just over 3600 fps with a 115 Berger. This is when I knew I was over pressure, because that is to fast. Still didn't have a crazy bad ejector mark, and bolt lift was a little sticky. How about some N570? That is close to RETUMBO, might work. Or another VIT powder with a burn rate close to H1000. You should be able to get over 3000 fps. [/QUOTE]
