[QUOTE="bdcoon, post: 1690147, member: 47737"] For what it's worth, I have found a load with my set-up that looks promising. I first ran an OCW ladder test with Retumbo at 100 yards with nine different charges. I started at 73.5 grains and went up in .5 grain increments to 77.5 (which is .3 grains higher than the max load suggested by Berger - I did get a light ejector mark on the brass at this charge, but nothing that caused me concern). I was waiting in between shots any where from 3 to 5 minutes (was being cautious not to over heat my barrel). The clear winner in this ladder test was 77.0 grains of Retumbo with a COAL of 3.385 (or approximately 2.690 when measured with my Hornady bullet comparator from the ogive). I was also using CCI 250 primers. You can see from the posted pic I shot about a .75 moa group with this load. From here, I ran another ladder test with varying seating depth charges which I will post next. [/QUOTE]
