Is Hodgdon Retumbo gone?

[5MilesBack]

Wow. Talk about price increase

No doubt. They're pricing it like they have the last bottles on earth. "$700 for an 8lb'er"......LOL.

I just placed an order at Bass Pro Shops for some Retumbo, not sure if it'll go through or not but it's definitely hidden on the website - https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/hodgdon-smokeless-powder

We'll see what happens...

Scheels in Rochester, MN had 10lbs when I checked. If anyone in the midwest the travels around rochester I would be more then happy to try to pick some up on a lunchbreak. (However that is the first time I have seen it in several months and this was on friday evening so it could be and most likely is gone.

Mel’s in Spicer, MN had an 8lb yesterday

RL-25 is pretty much the same burning rate as Retumbo and will do the same thing.

Except it’s not temp stable, kind of a big deal...for western hunting anyways

Never had a problem using F-215 primers.

 

[gunsmith89]

I picked up a pound of RL25 a while ago I was going to try too.

Never had a problem using F-215 primers.

A ford will haul a cord of wood just the same as a Chevy. But you couldn't pay me to drive a ford. Gotta have that retumbo with 215 primers as well. Really never had a problem with that combo either. Thats why I need it haha.

Yeah no dice on Bass Pro Shops both for Retumbo and H1000

WC857 New item. A slow burning ball type powder developed for the .50BMG tracer
ammo. This powder burns faster than the typical WC860 thru WC872 series of
powders. This powder has not been released as a canister powder. Loads can
be worked up using H-870 or AA-8700 data, less 10%. Burning rate seems to be
similar to Hodgdon H1000 or Reloder 25. An excellent choice for the .300 Win Mag,
7mm Mag, and other magnum type calibers. Good results in .25-06 with heavy bullets.
This is pulldown ball powder from Lake City. Burn rates can vary dramatically
from lot to lot. ALWAYS BEGIN WITH STARTING LOADS!
$80/8# jug
