[QUOTE="kraig, post: 1698511, member: 108101"] My son has had good luck with the Berger 180 hunting vld bullets with Retumbo & H1000 out of this Encore prohunter & his tactical. Both have 28" barrels. He always finds the powder node first then adjusts the seating depth to get the best accuracy. AND the VLD(s) can be picky about seating depth. He is getting 3050fps out of his but he is pushing it. The Retumbo makes for more of a heavy push recoil instead of a super sharp recoil. This is Hogdon's published data: Manufacturer Powder Bullet Diam. C.O.L. Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Hodgdon Retumbo .284" 3.290" 64.4 2,638 46,400 PSI 70.8C 2,914 59,600 PSI Hodgdon H1000 .284" 3.290" 63.2 2,605 46,000 PSI 69.5C 2,884 60,000 PSI [/QUOTE]
