    I did today actually. I started off at 56grs and worked up in 1gr increments to 62grs, and loaded 3 rounds.

    62grs of Retumbo shows no excessive pressure in my rifle. I had the projectiles sitting 20 thou off the lands, groups are on an inch. Next time I'll load up, I'll seat 35 thou off the lands.

    Didn't have a chance to chrony today.

    What charge weight are you running with Retumbo?

    Maybe I have to accept the fact also that my rifle just won't shoot these ELD-X projectiles. I mentioned above that it shoots the SST's really well, I'm just not overly taken with their BC figures. Other option might be going to a lighter 130gr Accubond or something similiar?
