[QUOTE="Bob L., post: 868269, member: 25385"] I have a 338 edge 30" rock creek 9.3 twist on a rem 700. I originally shot h1000 because it was "the powder" in other guns of this nature. I ended up not getting the accuracy or velocity I wanted or thought the gun should do better. After going back to the drawing board, retumbo produced a 1/4moa load at 2789fps that has been confirmed out to 1670 yards in drops using only 89 grains of retumbo, cci250 primers, and nosler brass. I have shot incredible groups with this combo and the gen 1 300 grain bergers 30 thousands off, for what its worth. This velocity was recorded at 1300ft elevation. I agree on shooting groups farther out, I discovered this 1/4moa group at 377 yards and have seen under 2" of vertical holding 1/4moa at 980 yards with it. I have several firings on this brass with no bolt click or stiffness. I may have a faster lot of retumbo, hence such a low grain powder charge for me? Hope this helps, give retumbo a chance.
