USCGLongBow ... your comment that RL33 feels like more recoil, that would make sense since you are stuffing so much more in there compared to RL22 and 25, right? I think the average velocity of the powder leaving the barrel is about 4000 fps, so it doesn't take a whole lot more powder to increase recoil. Also, your thoughts on the 33 not burning, what barrel length are you shooting? I'm sure it's real close either way.

Reloader 33 is to slow for a 250gr or smaller in the 338 RUM, a 300 grain you would be gaining maybe.

Exactly right, the lighter bullets just don't have the mass to give RL33 time to build speed. If you look at printed data for it, the velocities between 250 and 300 are really similar with this powder.
Well now you just gave me an excuse to buy some 300s! gun)
A case FULL of Retumbo under a Berger 250 is impressive, you shoot a 300gr at 2800fps then throw a 250 down range at 3100 fps and it kinda surprising just how fast it get there!!
