[QUOTE="kraky2, post: 195923, member: 3532"] I found retumbo to work great in my very fussy 300 ultrlight. As a matter of fact I was just about to spring for a new re-barrel. I found that it loved 200 grain accubonds at 86 grains and 180 tsx's at 88. The 88 grain load is doing about 3250 and that's with hornady brass which doesn't have the same capacity as wby. Wby brass does about 3210 in my gun. Retumbo is slower than H1000 but just a tad bit. I would recomend that you start with H1000 data and work up an extra grain or two with the retumbo. Starting way down at 80 grains would be a big waste with a 180 and retumbo.....I'd say load up 3 loads at 85, 86, 87 ea and go to the range and see what they do. Good luck....I hope it shoots as well for you as it did for me. Also, I did play with temp's with the retumbo a bit. It shot the same velocity at 20 degrees as it did at 65 degrees. (Not huge extremes but that's pretty much what I would hunt in 95% of the time.) [/QUOTE]
