[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 856136, member: 5219"] Have used it in quite a few cartridges since I received my first 8 lbs over a year ago. It is slower than Retumbo. With no load data listed I started just under Retumbo's max load data and worked up from there. The cartridges listed below worked excellently with RL-33. The ones that formerly used either RL-25 or Retumbo had higher velocities with RL-33 257 weatherby and 110 gr accubonds 6mm-284 and 105 gr Berger match target hybrids two 7mm/375 Rugers with 180 gr Berger match target hybrids 300 Rum and 230 gr Berger match target hybrids Also tried a moly coated 162 A-max with a 24" 7 Rem mag. Ran out of powder space using a 6" drop tube and barely duplicated the original Retumbo load. Didn't try a 180 which might have shown improvements in velocity. My opinion is that RL-33 works best with heaviest for caliber bullets. [/QUOTE]
