[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1959425, member: 307"] For years, Retumbo gave me great velocity and accuracy in both the 6.5-284 barrels I had. This was with the 140gn bullets (Berger & Hornady), up to the 156's. I did experiment and try RL26 with the 147gn ELD-M and it was just over 3100fps (28" barrel) but I had that powder dedicated for my .300WinMag, so I stayed with Retumbo. RL25 and AA3100 (discontinued) gave great performance with the 120gn class bullets. Velocity was over 3200fps, IIRC, (26" barrel) and I used it on Ga. whitetails and hogs and they absolutely could not stand it. IMO, this is a great cartridge and easy to load for, at least it has been for me. [/QUOTE]
