[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 99134, member: 1403"] It doesn't seem to bad. Bolt lift is not any worse, on the can of Retumbo, it simply states that 100.5g is a MAX load. With velocity of 3300. My rounds are seated to 3.690" Maybe that has a little to do with it?? I use a crony chronograph, I know its not the best, but it has seemed to work well for me. I was shooting my swift today along with it and it was giving me my expected velocities of 3900 with 38g of IMR-4064 and 55g FMJ. I am going to try 101g tomorrow and see if I can get the group down to 2 inches or so, if not, I probly wont use that powder. I have always used H-1000 in my RUM, but I had some extra Retumbo laying around from when I loaded up my 210g VLD's. Retumbo seems to shoot better when loaded pretty hot out of my rifle, at least with the 2 bullets I've tried. I dont have quick load, so I'm not sure what kinda pressures I'm running at. My primers dont look bad either. I know your all looking out for me. [/QUOTE]
