sorry that was the H4350 I quoted above. The retumbo was from Natchez Shooters Supply at $263 for 5 singles.

I haven't seen any Retumbo for sale in over two years. I'm sure there is some somewhere, just not in front of me. I did score a jug of 8133 and really like it. I will be using that in my 28 and my RUM for awhile.
I prefer ADG Brass
#215 is a Federal Primer. You will need a Large Rifle Magnum Primer and you cannot be picky about the brand right now.
Look at the 215gr hybrid instead of the 210VLD. You can run them the same speed and the 215 is easier to tune. less sensitive to seating depth.
Good Luck. Everything is hard to find right now and overpriced.

8133 is in the endurance line. Temp stable with anti copper fouling agents

Issues with Temps aren't usually in that range so much as between 70 and 100deg. All powders will have velocity variations at extreme temperature ranges. Elevated Temps can cause dangerous pressures with less stable powderss.

I ended up getting 2lbs and I will keep looking as I am going to need to practice a lot, I have never reloaded before, and I have never shot a 300 ultra mag, I have hunting elk for the last 23 years, have only come home 4 times with paper, but this new spot I found is 700 to 1200 yards and my 30 06 dies off to much after 500, at the range I can hit 615 all the time. but there just is not enough power at that range for a elk, so I stepped up to the 300 ultra mag. cant wait to get all the parts in so I can start playing
