[QUOTE="Little More Money, post: 1808083, member: 112768"] I'm building a custom 6.5-06, starting to compile load data to use when it's finished. I've found lots of information so far using H1000, H4831, and H4350, problem is I can't seem to find any of that powder in stock near me, and I'm pretty much set on using a Hodgdon extreme powder, it's just worked for me in the past. I've read lots about guys using Retumbo and I have a couple cans of that, but Hodgdon doesn't list any data for it. So my question is, would someone when they have a free minute be kind enough to run a quickload for me? If not could someone give me some advice on how to come up with a safe starting charge for a cartridge without this data? 6.5-06, using Federal Magnum Match primers, Hornady 143 grain ELD-X bullet, Hodgdon Retumbo powder, 26" barrel with an 8" twist, and COAL is 3.500". Thank you in advance [/QUOTE]
