[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 709366, member: 29174"] I was surprised to find that Retumbo worked as well as it did in my rifle. I used 69.5g of Retumbo, a 215 primer, and a 140g Accubond for 3100fps. Very accurate in my hunting rifle which normally isn't a bughole shooter(Kimber 8400). I will have to say that the terminal performance of the 140 AB was poor compared to the 140g Interbond(or Sierra hpbt) I had been using. I put 3 shots into a sub 3" group through the heart and lungs of a nice Whitetail at close to 100 yards and none of them showed much expansion. In fact the exit holes actually were cleaner and smaller than the entrance holes and non were bigger than a nickle. I am used to up to fist sized exit holes so that experience pretty much ended my use of Accubonds(same reason I don't use ballistic tips). Magpro and RL17 is good as is 4831 and 4350. H4831 is more stable than the others though. [/QUOTE]
