My M700 LSS 338 RUM is a factory stock 26" barrel, no brake or porting.

Went out to the range today
The 103 grs of Retumbo had a sticky bolt lift in my gun on one of the rounds, my crony measured 3321 fps..... yikes! That's mighty fast.
I loaded 96.0 grs of RL-25 to mag length and they did OK.
Very much improved when moved up to .02 off the lands. Very good load.
I will load up more of the RL-25 loads and go shoot several groups with it.
I will also download the Retumbo load by 2 grs and try it again. CW

I just loaded some 225 AB with 101 grs of Retumbo, the 103 loads went across the corny @ a little over 3300 FPS and had a shiney spot on the case head... maybe a squeak to much pressure. The velocity is what it is, I can not believe it is correct but I will try it again. CW

You are running too high a pressure and you will shorten the case life.
Your load with RL 25 at 3100 fps with low SD is the one to key in on. A 225 gr AB at 3100 fps with a single digit SD and .5 MOA will kill anything in NA, with the first shot.
I would save the Retumbo for the 250 gr loads. :wink:
