Hi,I shoot my sako TRG chambered in 30-378 wby,And have been loading 120grs 50 BMG 165 nosler ballistic tips. and am probaly getting around the 3350fps range,Has anybody tried the Retumbo powder,Hodgson is claiming velocities of 50-100fps more,Is it as accurate and what about pressures from this new powder. I've read loads with 165gr speers and 115grs retumbo in the 3500+ range out of a 26 inch tube with no pressures. before I go out and track some of this stuff down,I would like some reviews or suggestions. Thanks

I've used a ton of the stuff in my 7mm Ultra Mag and so far it has delivered the best accuracy and velocity of anything I have used in that caliber. It also seems to be temp insensitive just as the manufacturer claims. I have shot it from below zero to the high 90s with no noticable difference in velocity. It also leaves a very clean barrel.
