UARick Report post Posted November 2, 2011 I am running 71.5 Grs of Retumbo in my Rem 700. I am getting about 3050 fps with 168 gr Bergers. I worked the load up by .5 gr incremements. I am also using IMR 4350 for 160 gr. Accubonds. I am getting about 2900 FPS but that is out of a 22 inch barrel Browning BAR. Hope it helps. Good Luck. Accubonds are a great bullet.

nighthawk Report post Posted November 3, 2011 I shoot 140grain nosler balistic tip. Imr4350 64 grains out of Remington710.. I have had great results .., 4 deer over 550 and farest was 699. One and done! Every gun is different be prepared to try lots of loads,grains, powders to get the most out of ur accuracy.. With this load my gun has a half inch group at 100, 5bullets with 2 holes. When started also truest rl19 but didn't have good results . I think I try 3different powders and all three loads of each. Just load up 5of each load, lowest medium and max powder.. See what happens and what ur gun shoots best. Trying to find a good load can be frustrating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
