OP Big_Redhead Campfire Tracker Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,950 Michigan	Originally Posted by BWalker I am using Retumbo with the 115 Berger VLD at 3200fps. Not awesome velocity wise, but I have lost the urge to tinker as this load is superbly and consistently accurate. I also tried Magnum and it worked well also, but not quit as good as Retumbo. What's "not awesome" about 3200 fips? Shoot, I would be giddy about that. The velocity of the max load of Retumbo and 117gr slugs on Hodgdon's website is 3079. Your load of the 115 VLD at 3200 is a long-range, flat-shootin' monster. Them UP cedar eaters better watch out for you! Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.

I may run it over the screens some day, just to satisfy my own curiosity, but I won't tell him.
