[QUOTE="BillR, post: 496575, member: 462"] Thats really interesting Nitroused383 on the velocity your getting. I use the same exact bullet and cartridge but as yet have not been able to get that kind of velocity. Lately I have been using Retumbo but have been a bit nervous about pushing it that hard. Can you give a bit of a description on rifle, barrel length, case used, primer, powder etc. Last time I checked I think I was up around 3250 was all and its a very light load or seems to be but also very very accurate in my .25-06AI. On antelope 550 was a chip shot and 700 was doable but the bullet didn't open up well at that range and took a long time to catch up with the antelope as it was hit a bit back around the last rib and just seemed to nose in and out without much damage. Haven't shot to 1000 yet and had been thinking of rechambering to .257 Wby to get the extra boost but if there is a way to get the velocity up a bit. I might just stay with what I am using. That bullet just plain shoots. [/QUOTE]
