[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1493839, member: 30902"] I tried some 217 a few years back when I was just completely out of luck getting RL33 and H1000. I wasn't thrilled with it but it was consistent in both the WM and Rums running 180-210gr bullets. Retumbo can be temp sensitive but very predictable and thus consistent. The problem is that it's absolutely the dirtiest powder I've ever used so I avoid it. Like you I've really been amazed with RL26 in the large case magnums as it generally outruns the others easily from 50-150fps or more running lower pressures. It's also got their proprietary treatments which really help with preventing copper build up and other problems. It's become my powder of choice and with my love affair with H1000 that's hard to admit. H1000 had been my go to since they quit making H870. [/QUOTE]
