85 gr. Retumbo, 200 gr. Accubond 3.60 COL and I had a 5 shot group of .647. I also tried 81 & 83 gr and the groups opened up to over 1". I did not chronograph any of the Retumbo Loads yet.

I have also been using 92 gr. H-1000, 200 gr. Accubond and this load is also sub MOA and average Velocity is 3085. still working on the loads.

Trade winds thanks for that.................H1000 is a faster powder than Retumbo correct ?? There fore 92 gr of Retumbo under the 200 gr Accubond would be a milder load than 92 gr of H1000 behind that bullet is that correct ??

Skidly,

any pressure signs with this load ??

Have you seen Hodgons data for Retumbo and 200 gr bullets seems extremely mild but I reckon thats because of the 200 gr Barnes X bullet that was used.

I have three test loads of 92 gr of AR2225 which is repackaged in the states as Retumbo............the fdata ADI use and Hodgon use ids the same, if you look at there 200gr data it is damn mild at max load of 86 gr of Retumbo behind the 200 gr bullet........................there 220 gr data lists max as 89 gr which seems out of line Confused
