If you find any Retumbo laying around please pass along where.
Rumor on the street is that Hodgdon pulled it to reformulate it for the 6.5 Creedmoor and ran into problems with the chemistry. So if they're successful, it won't be worth a damn for the big cases any longer.
That's what I was thinking. A major change without changing the name is a bad idea.That seems like an illogical solution for Hodgdon.
It would require changing burn rates among other things which would create a major issue with load data being dependent on print date as well as powder by manufacture date. Cross in the wrong direction and they would have lawyers calling.
I don’t have any evidence to support it, but my guess would be that it’s either simply waiting for it’s turn for a run from the manufacturer or there is an issue at the factory in whichever country it’s manufactured causing the delay.

That's where software like quickload can be handy. It's usually real close to real world results and let's you see factors like burn rate, psi, case fill to powder burn percentage and velocity. Something else that's handy is it gives you a heat potential for each powder which is a factor in barrel life.I still don't understand how bore diameter-burn speed-case capacity all factor into powder choice but I have a feeling hodgdon would be able to figure these things out pretty quick and either develop data with the existing formula or rule it out as a candidate. I'm sure anyone with that software program could figure it out quick as well. Logically, I'm they probably just had a backup on the line while producing a bunch of other powders like varget and 4350 that everyone's so hot over.
If retumbo had half the fanboys of varget I bet you'd find it a lot more available.

I was in that boat for a long time but after purchasing it's when I realized I should have ponied up a long time ago for it.That's the program I was referring to. I just couldn't think of the name. I'd love to run some loads through it but just can't afford to drop $150 on it.

Maybe we need to talk and I'll kick you some cash to run some numbers through there for me some timeI was in that boat for a long time but after purchasing it's when I realized I should have ponied up a long time ago for it.

My wife quit asking me questions. I'm still not sure if that's good or bad.600 rounds of 9mm loaded up and 400 rounds of .45 ACP loaded up.
My wife is always asking why I want primers all the time.
