300winnieWho likes Retumbo?
Just curious as to the acceptance of this powder since its introduction.
I am still playing with it, but wondering what anybody elses thoughts/experiences have been with it.

bigcountryI like it ok. In my 300RUM, I find acceptable submoa loads with it. I do get flyers from now and then. I get better velocities and almost no flyers with RL25.

cola8d8I like it. It is the powder I use in my 300 RUM. 99.5 grains, 180 Accubond gives me the best groups at an average of 3360 (26 inch).

Lee MartinGreat powder......I've worked with it extensively in the 8mm Rem Mag and found both performance and accuracy to be outstanding (best load to date has been 87.0 grains behind a 220 Sierra).

Wonder if it would work well in my 300WM ?? It has a 24" barrel which could be a little short for a slow burner like Retumbo.

DavidIt's great in 7mm STW with 160gr and heavier bullets.
