[QUOTE="kraky, post: 186010, member: 180"] Go to Hogdon.com and you will see all their recomended loads for all their powders including retumbo. I've gone up to 83.5 under a 200 grain bullet and gotten 2930 fps without pressure signs in a tikka t3 light. I've gotten some mixed reactions running it under 180 grainers. Bottom line is it is slower than H1000 by a bit. You will also have super highly compressed loads with the long 180 and 200 grain bullets. If I had to give you advice I'd say start with max h1000 loads and work up closely watching pressure and watching for wild velocity swings. Retumbo did work wonderfully for me in a super fussy 300wby UL. This gun had trouble shooting alot of bullets to 6-9" groups at 300 yds. Then with retumbo the gun would shoot moa with both the 200ab and the 180 tsx. (Me thinks the gun has a terribly stressed barrel). [/QUOTE]
