[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 817092, member: 48043"] Sorry bud, retumbo is going to be rather slow for that round. You will get her to go bang, but I'd expect a drop of 200-300 fps from normal speeds. You may however get some good accuracy. I'm using rl19 in my 338 and it's rather compressed. If you want to try retumbo in your 338 win the hodgdon # 26 manual shows 76 to 81 grains of h1000 with a 250 grain in the 338. You could walk up the same charge range and just expect a bit less velocity. The bottom charge produced 2431 fps with h1000 and the top charge produced 2606 fps. [/QUOTE]
