[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2937049, member: 27307"] As it should be obvious after 2 pages, Hodgdon US 869 is far too slow to create the pressure necessary to achieve both good velocity and a proper burn with your choice of bullets. Retumbo is most appropriate especially considering the testing I've done with a variety of bullets, the most successful being the Badlands 195 gr. Super BD2. In this combination of case and bullet, I run both Retumbo, Norma 217 (discontinued), VVN-570 and sometimes Ramshot Magnum. My OAL is 3.850" and a jump of 0.035" with the limitation being my magazines (DBM). Retumbo IS available through 3 outlets as of this morning, I checked: Hodgdon (1 lb) Natchez (8 lbs) Powder Valley (8 lbs) It's not cheap especially with the gouging attitude of the manufacturers and suppliers. But it is probably the best solution to your dilemma. Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
