[QUOTE="kraky2, post: 219633, member: 3532"] Have you gone to the hodgdon website?? If I remember right the earlier data they had they did not recomend it for 180 grainers but they may have changed the data lately. It is ever so slightly slower than H1000 so when I play with retumbo I start towards the upper end of H1000 loads and work up. I did have a strange experience with retumbo that has put a bit of fear in me. I had a load that worked good with the 200 accubond and had no problems. I tried the exact same load under a 180 tsx thinking the lighter bullet and rings on the tsx would really make for a safe starting point....wrong...didn't blow primers but darn close and came darn close to duplicating 300 wby speeds!! It could be one of those strange powders that stays calm under highly compressed loads but "comes alive" when not. [/QUOTE]
