6.5x284

So i have seen excellent results using retumbo. Im trying to ise it but at 55grns of powder i start to crush the powder a little bit everyone says the node is at 57grns. Is this normal to be crushing the powder anyone have experience. COAL 3.000 savage 111 cci large rifle primer using nosler brass.

I use H4831SC which works very well in my 6.5 x 284, I have used Retumbo only for the 7 Magnum and it does push it fast, but never with the 6.5 x 284. Have you used a drop tube to minimize powder crush? Also if you have a long freebore, you will get more powder room.

Thanks for the info. I did use retumbo and did get very promising results so im going to go with thar.
