[QUOTE="7Rumloader, post: 72352, member: 3640"] [b]Re: Drop tests and some groups with 169.5 wildcats. ( with pics )[/b] Thanks Kirby for the suggestion! I have been keeping up with most all of your posts about your allen mags and remembered you saying you got a lot better performance and less barrel heat with the ball powders. I ordered up some ramshot magnum and will be working up loads with it soon to see it's performance first hand. I have witnessed the heat difference with different powders in my RUM just in the hodgdon line of powders. The H-1000 is cooler than any I've tried yet but doesn't perform that well with the big wildcats. The retumbo provides better performance with a barely noticeable heat difference from H-1000 but I was out when I started my main tests and the BMG powder provided the best performance overall but much more barrel heat than the others. I could fire 4 and 5 shots with H-1000 before the barrel got to the same temp with only 3 shots of BMG. There was however a 10 grain difference in charge which accounts for some of the heat. I have some more Retumbo here now and the Ramshot but only have enough wildcats to do load development with each powder which will be fine because I'm sure Richard has my new order on it's way! I will check into the WC872 because at that price it's hard to turn down and with the case capacity I have 8 pounds will be gone before you know it. I plan on having a RUM around for awhile so I may as well buy more than 8 pounds if it's a good performer.
