[QUOTE="tonyf3, post: 2682029, member: 6649"] I used to load for a 300Wby. 180grain nosler partitions, IMR7828 with velocities about 3165-3190. I didn't break 3200 fps with retumbo and that usually gives the velocity a little kick so I'm pretty sure the 180 is too light. In fact, Hodgon and Nosler don't list Retumbo as a poweder in their manuals under the 180 grain bullets. IMR7828 was listed as fast and most accurate so i tried that and it works well I stopped loading for it because wby factory ammo with 180 partitions is just as good and just as fast as the handloads I load 230Bergers w/ Retubmo for about 2850fps..
