300winnie.257 Weatherby - Hodgdon RETUMBO
Has anyone tried this. Looking for loads to try with the 110 Nosler Accubond

krakyIf hogdon doesn't have published data on it I'd email them. I'd "guess" it's too slow. But then again today I loaded up some real long 200 grain accubonds and crunched them down to 3.340 in my 300 win mag. 84 grains being compressed that much is quite a sound but they shoot good and that's a hodgdon recomended load. It's cranking 2950 out of my 24" barrel in my cheap ($279) savage/stevens with fine accuracy.

Jay JohnsonI agree with kraky Retumbo is to slow. But I'd suggest you take a look at IMR 7828.

RMillerI had e-mailed hodgdon about retumbo in the 257 wby. They replied that it was too slow.
