[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1509416, member: 85987"] I'd look at RL 33 in the 7mag and larger capacities for the 195. I tried it in my brothers gun with a ladder because of what I read here. His rifle is shooting the 168's with retumbo exceptionally well. I cleaned his rifle and did a ladder with RL 26 and Rl33 180 hybrids. I was able to match the speed of the 168's/retumbo with the 180/RL26. I'm at just over 3120 with the RL33 vs 3080 with rl26. The powder is through a drop tube and crunching a bit. This is with 4th firing annealed rem brass. Neck sized with a lee collet die. It will need a shoulder bump for the next loading. Not the best but it did have a consistent 35ish fps gain over the 3 grains of change. Will it shoot as well as the retumbo IDK he doesn't want to change anything till after deer season. 27"douglas or shillen on a push feed m70. He had a 700/26" combo that wouldn't shoot the 180's. Another with the same E prefix did. [/QUOTE]
