[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1679143, member: 11960"] I tried both Reloader 33 and Retumbo with the 170 Berger and 168gr Hammer Hunter in the Boondoggle. With Reloader 33 I started at 90.0gr and worked up to 98.0 which was pretty hot, but probably doable. With Retumbo I started at 85.0gr and worked up to 92.0gr. I think Reloader 26 is too fast to get a good case fill with the 170s before you pressure out. I haven't personally played with it yet, but Ramshot LRT might be worth trying too. The sharp shoulder on your 270 Allen Mag may not play well with an extruded powder like Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
