[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 369434, member: 19372"] 83 grains of Retumbo is a 112.5% compressed load. It doesn't model nearly as hot as some "internet" loads I've seen - but clearly in your rifle it was too much. The fact that it is such a slow powder saved your bacon. Had it been H4831 (116% compressed load - probably won't fit) you might have had a lot of pieces - that models at ~60% over pressure. According to QuickLOAD Ramshot Magnum, RL25, N570, IMR7828, IMR7828SSC, N560, and a bunch more are all better powders for the 200g AB than Retumbo. Retumbo is way down the list. Fitch PS You might start low and work up ... frw [/QUOTE]
