[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1550559, member: 61747"] Speed is not everything but we are addicted to it. I truly believe you can find a load that works well with any powder and any bullet combo. It just takes time to find the node/barrel time the combo likes. What I have found is that longer barrels and heavier bullets tend to respond the best to slower burn powders. When I run RL 26 in my 28" to max with a 147 it runs 3150. The load I run is 3015 fps with a 8 es and 3 sd. It seems to be a pretty safe load. That same powder charge with a 140 is 3100. This load in a 24" barrel with a 140 is 3000. I have similar results with retumbo. I would like to try some enduron in the future and see how it performs, I have heard really good reports so far. If you are not happy with the speed and want to stick with a heavier bullet step out of the box and run a magnum powder. You have very little to lose giving it a shot and you might be surprised at the results. I was [/QUOTE]
