[QUOTE="JOHNSONJC79, post: 1105216, member: 41140"] Hi Everybody I just wanted to put out there that I worked up a load using the 127gr Barnes LRX bullet with Retumbo this week. I called Barnes and they had no recommendations using this powder. The rifle is a Nosler M48 Patriot 6.5-284 Norma. Having read a lot and chatting with greyfox I worked up sucessful 140gr loads for Berger VLD at 57.0 gr and a COAL of 3.18 with Fed 215M. In comparison the 127gr LRX is almost equal in length with a larger bearing surface due to the shape. I chose to try the same 57.0 gr load of Retumbo and seated them at 3.15. The Results in my Nosler were amazing! .68 group outside at 200yds, very accurate! They had an avg of 3000fps and spread of 9. DISCLAIMER-PLEASE if you try this load start low and work up!!!!! Hope this will help others in the future looking at this combo. Good luck and happy shooting! [/QUOTE]
