[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1616822, member: 93846"] Try the H1000 with Berger 215gr Hybrids. I've had excellent results with this combination in multiple rifles with 1 in 8", 1 in 9" and 1 in 10" twist rates, in 24", 26" and 28" Bartlein barrels, as well as a 26" Rock Creek barrel. I believe you will be very pleased with the results. I've tried RL-23 in 300 Win Mag and though accuracy was excellent, the velocities were pretty anemic. Don't get me wrong, I love RL-23 in several other cartridges; 30-06 with 212gr and 215gr bullets, 7mm Rem Mag with 162gr and 168gr bullets and 270 Win with 150gr bullets. It just produces too low velocities in 300 Win Mag. Retumbo produced great velocity in my 300 Win Mags but, accuracy was inconsistent. Some days it was excellent, other days there were random flyers. It also burns dirty as heck, gums up actions and smokes so bad that it is difficult to see your vapor trail or impacts. RL-26 works well but, I had too much velocity variation with the temperature spreads that I shoot in. H1000 was the very best powder for my rifles, producing the best accuracy with great velocity as well. ES and SD were both very low. I will be trying various Hammer projectiles, including .308 cal in 300 Win Mag and 30-06 as well as .284 cal in 7mm-08 and 7mm Rem Mag. I'm expecting great things from them. They will be field tested on some 250+ lbs deer this coming season. [/QUOTE]
