[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 292614, member: 11717"] BH, no worries, I didn't think you were questioning the data. I just posted that for informational background. I corrected the velocities for the distance of 14' from my muzzle to the chrony. I used 8 fps and I determined that by running a BC calc for similar bullet BC and velocity and checking the differencr from muzzle to 100 yds (300') and mathematically worked out the loss in fps per foot and multiplied by 14. You might try some heavier bullets to get more bang for the buck out of a powder like Retumbo. I would suggest 200 AB's and 210 Bergers. I'll be trying them as well out of my RUM with Retumbo and H1000. Also, if you get a 1" group @ 100 yds, you should check @ 200 and 300 yds. Your groups might still be 1" out there as it sometimes takes a couple of hundred yards for some bullets to "go to sleep". Best, Mark [/QUOTE]
