Sorry, about mislabeled powder. It's 8133 in the middle.
Since you have some 8133, have you tried it? I have a 28 Nosler and I am thinking of giving it a try.Sorry, about mislabeled powder. It's 8133 in the middle.
Well based on the photographic evidence they've obviously just darkened retumbo and added copper eliminator.I've shot a lot of H-1000 and Retumbo and have had very good results from both. 7828 is also a go-to powder.
I'm pretty sure 8133 is not Retumbo, for you powder conspirators.View attachment 89271
I'm doing load work up on another rifle and have a 300 wm coming in Feb, so it may be awhile before I try the 8133 in the 7stw. I will post it up when I get some data. Hodgdon shows 8133 is about 150 fps faster than the Retumbo w/180 gr, in the STW, if I remember correctly.Since you have some 8133, have you tried it?

If you have a chart with RL33 and Retumbo it should be close.The man at the IMR booth at the Shot Show said the 8133 was made to be the IMR'S version of RetumboAnyone know how the IMR 8133 will stack up against the RL33? Can't find a chart anywhere that has both 8133 and RL33 on it. Looking to use it in a 28 Nosler that is freebored to take the 195 Berger EOLs.
