Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Retumbo

I lucked into a jug of Retumbo, what other cartridges is it useful in?
I have only loaded it in a 7mag with a TTSX with very good results.
Bought the powder for $250 so felt good about that.
Just wondering what else it works well in
I load for 300 wby, 300 win & 338 win. Also 270win,280, 06.

I had already read that limited information from Hodgdon. Im sure it must be useful in other cartridges or at least hopeful. My brother uses it in 338 Lapua.

I use it in a 7mm saum with 175 grainbullets

Has worked well in the 25.06 with 115 - 120gr bullets.

6.5 PRC with 147's

Yep! I bought a pound to test out in my son’s 6.5 PRC, but he has yet to buy the dies, so .300 WM it will go then.

I need to look at 300 win or Wby data

I’ve had really good results in the 7mag and 25/06 with regard to accuracy and velocities.

It is skookum in 25-06 with 110 - 120 gr bullets. Impressive velocities. With a 110 AB, I don’t think you can get enough in the case to go over pressure.

I gave my 25/06 to my brother inlaw. I have a more than a few 257 roberts and a ton of .257 bullets may have to find a 25/06 again

Congrats, that's like winning the lotto. I'd love more retumbo especially at that price. I've used it in 243 with 105s, 264 win, 270 and 7 wsm, my 28 nosler loves it, I also used to use it in 7 and 300 ultra. For 300 win I prefer h1000. Retumbo and h1000 are 2 of my favorites and I can't find either.

Yes, that is like winning the lotto to score on powder like that now.

Retumbo is what I use in the 7mm rem mag with 160, 175 gr. Bullets. Down to one pound of it, good thing load development is done.

Tried it I in the 25-06 did good with 120 gr. Bullets. But the way things are now, the retumbo is just for thr 7 mag.
