Spent some time working up loads over Christmas and seemed to find some different things from others so thought I’d add my data. Unfortunately I don’t have a chrono but will update this when I have velocities, more worried about group size.
Browning x bolt pro
24in barrel
Winchester brass
Average .8in 3 shot groups for 165 ABLR over 63.8gr of Retumbo. I found my lands with a COAL of 2.900 and best groups with a COAL of 2.850 (.050 off the lands). Groups were worse closer to the lands and 1 inch at .100 off.

Found 1 inch or less 3 shot groups with 155 LRX over 63.0gr of retumbo. Found the lands at a COAL of 2.915 and got the best groups with a COAL of 2.815 (.100 off lands). I tried several loads closer to the lands and other power charges and never found good results until this load.

Seemed like most people were seating their bullets much longer! I was jamming my bullets into the lands on my rifle with seating lengths that others were posting so maybe the throat is shorter on this browning? Who knows but if you’re having trouble with either of the bullets, maybe more jump is the answer! Will update velocities and SD’s once I have them.
