Have you chrono'ed that load?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Running 71 grains and touching the lands out of a factory remington barrel, it is going 2940 ft/sec.

Work up to the above load, touch the lands with the bullet!!! That's my load also... actually had to bump it up to 72.0 grains when I broke into a new 8lb jug of Retumbo with a different lot # - runs right at 3075fps in my 26" Benchmark tube:

In my Browning High-Power, 71.0 grains of Retumbo gets right around 3000 with very fine accuracy.
