[QUOTE="TwoMore, post: 1426956, member: 95166"] I use Retumbo in my 7mm RUM. I shoot both 168 vld and 180 vld , I use 94 grains on the 168s and 92 on the 180s with 215 primers. both are close to max loads for my rifle and Retumbo needs to be worked up slowly, I started around 88 grains and worked up 3.67 is my OAL on the 168s I dont see my OAL on the 180s, probably the same. Mine is a factory barrel so the free-bore is long. If it were a custom with a shorter Free-bore I would reduce the load by 10% first and work up. I mainly shoot the 168s through it for the range I shoot and a tad less recoil. I only shoot deer and hogs so the 175 may look better for bigger game :) good luck ! [/QUOTE]
