[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1622243, member: 26077"] 7828 SSC and Retumbo have worked very well with 162 grain bullets. Great accuracy and excellent velocity. Loads are published, start at min and work up. Mine has a 28" barrel and will spit 162s out at nearly 3400 fps and that is a at a full 2 grains below published max for Retumbo. All three of the RUMs I have loaded for hit max velocity or above well below published max loads. I highly recommend Fed 215 or Win Mag primers. CCI mags will click boom or fail to fire with this big a powder load. [B]DO NOT load these below published minimum. This is not the round to be shooting reduced loads in.[/B] The RUM is hard on barrels but while they last, you can't argue about the results on Game. Have shot Big moose at 550 on down to yotes (NOT fur friendly) on the half mile line. Great shooting round that bucks the wind well and wind is an issue where I hunt. [/QUOTE]
