[QUOTE="bitbythebug, post: 1144990, member: 90401"] I tried many powders and primers and brass combo's and finally found that Retumbo worked best for me in my custom 338 rum. I backed it off to where 87.5 grains of retumbo in R-P brass with CCI 250 primers was averaging 2730 and very accurate. It will push the 300 Bergers out past 2800 but primer pockets were stressed. My gun also liked R-P brass better than Nosler brass. Don't know why and this is the only gun I own that prefers R-P. I also load to 3.78 coal which was about .50 off the lands. Very accurate. Blue printed 700 xcr with #5 Bartlein barrel and pillar bedded custom stock and Timney trigger and custom muzzle brake. Took several hundred rounds to come to these conclusions. [/QUOTE]
