I picked up some retumbo powder to give it a try with my 264wm. I was planning on using some 130 accubonds. I noticed Hodgon says max load is 64.1 grains with that bullet but a Hornady 129 grn is 67.5 grain. That seems a huge difference. Anyone using Retumbo with 130 accubonds? What load are...

Just wondering if anyone uses the 20 for predators. Years ago when I got my first shotgun I got a box of Federal supermag 3" copperplated #2 buffered shot. Wish I had bought several boxes at the time because I only have a few rounds left. What do you guys use?
I use to use it and during the powder shortages I started using rl15. I just picked up some BLC2. I never had accuracy problems. Since I havent loaded up up any ammo in 5 or 6 years with Blc2 I thought I would ask.
