[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1337731, member: 97196"] Retumbo is my go-to powder for heavier bullets in calibers from 6.5-06 to 338 edge. It seems to produce higher relative velocities with less pressure signs vs other comparable powders. I admit I have gone through several 8 lb kegs of it and may just be more comfortable with its characteristics but I generally find a consistent, high velocity round using Retumbo as my first choice for heavies. Temperature stability is a priority for us in the desert so I like to utilize the Hodgdon extreme powders when possible but when venturing toward maximum loads/pressures even extreme powders will produce critical pressure if these highly charged cartridges are not guarded from high temperatures.
