In the article by Steve Gash in the new Hodgdon manual it seems to be much slower than what the load data in the manual claims. Hodgdon said that Retumbo is going to military contracts currently. I would like to try it in 264 Win Mag for temp stability. I would give up a few FPS for temp stability but not a lot. Easy button for a 264 Win Mag these days is of course a 6.5 PRC or if shooting factory ammo a 270 with a couple extra inches of barrel.
If they can make and supply this HD why can’t they just make more Retumbo? Retumbo isn’t being loaded in 5.56 or 7.62. So that leaves what 300 Win Mag etc. Hodgdon can’t make enough powder to supply a few snipers and a few handloaders?
