I'm wondering if anybody here has any loading experience with this combo? Looks like the velocity this cartridge can send this bullet at will be a very long range hammer. Berger gave me some load data using N570, Retumbo, and US869. I also have RL33 and LRT on hand but they didn't have load data for those powders. Berger told me that the seating depth that worked best in their testing is 3.619. Any input?
