[QUOTE="VTi, post: 307646, member: 1998"] I spent a good deal of time experimenting with Retumbo in a longer bbl (28") 7wsm with the even heavier bullets - 180gr Berger VLD. I arrived at the conclusion that it did not work that well. It was consistent, but I could not push the velocity to the point I was looking for (3100fps +) and still maintain a COAL of 2.860" to easily feed out of AI mags. I got to about 3000fps, no pressure signs at all, but the powder was getting way to compressed for my liking so I didn't want to go any higher with the charges. Finally, I stepped down to H1000 and got fantastic results. I shoot several different 7wsm's and strongly believe H1000 is the single best propellant for the 7wsm and heavier bullets. Just my opinion, YMMV of course. [/QUOTE]
