[QUOTE="stx, post: 1483346, member: 21006"] I couldn’t get quite the velocity(2950+) or accuracy I wanted with Retumbo and 140 VLDs in my Cooper Backcountry.....although it wasn’t bad! I tried RL 26 and immediately got better accuracy and the velocity I wanted(2974 fps with no pressure signs). With this lightweight rifle, I’m plenty happy with this velocity and sub .25” groups! I’m going to leave it at 56 gr RL 26, .030” off lands and call it “good to go”! I’ve never used this powder before and was impressed with the immediate results.....groups attached are 3 shot groups at 100 yds. [ATTACH]105778[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]105779[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
