[QUOTE="frostop, post: 1614055, member: 22611"] Well, this is where I'm at! When I built this rifle, I researched this site for powder options and Retumbo seemed to be mentioned a fair amount so I bought Two pounds. I have tried seating out to just shy of the lands and back down to just inside the magazine length and really never saw SD's that I liked. So the other day I got down to the last bit of the Retumbo and decided to load a minimum load of the H1000 seated just inside the mag, which shot in the 2900 ft range with an sd of 9, five shots! This is a hunting rifle so I would like to keep it inside the mag and I would like to stretch it out to say 700 so I would like to keep the SD's down in the single digits. Unfortunately, I have gone in search of powder, H1000, locally and haven't found any and probably going to have to order it! Planning on trying it out! Thank you for all the reply's, always a wealth of knowledge and experience here, I will just continue as usual and hopefully H1000 will be the one for this rifle:) Gary [/QUOTE]
