So I managed to stumble across a couple of pounds of This fabled dust at the local gun store and bought 2 lbs of it. It's kind of a funny story, the guy behind the counter only wanted to sell me 1 pound of it but I said if they wanted to make a sale I needed at least 2 lbs to make it worth my time. The guy was like sorry one pound that all we can sell to a customer right now. Anyways the owner popped out from the back and said fine they'll sell me 2 lbs but no more hahaha.
Anyways I've had full boxes of 210 gr VLD hunting bullets for a long time and never tried to load them as I've been fine tuning my 200 eldx pullets with RL26.
So my question is what is some data for this combo (Retumbo, 210 VLD hunting bullets, Federal 215M primers, hornady brass) I'm loading for a Remington 700 XCR tactical LR so it has a magnum length action and with the chamber I can seat out to 3.60".

I got an email the other day that a retailer out east got stock of Retumbo and were selling it for $99/pound. YIKES!!!!!

I got it for 82$ a pound taxes in..... Talk about gouging... hopefully soon supply can bounce back and meet the demand because its crazy how much components increased over the last year.... When you research how the components are to be made there is a huge huge profit margin at 82$ a pound. Its costing them less 20$ a pound to produce right now from my google searching sources hahaha problem is 90% of components are being sold to the militaries around the world and the other 9% is sold to law enforcement leaving a meager 1% to the civilian market... Again from the google it use to be about 70 20 10 before so there was much more stock available Hopefully we can get back to a surplus and prices dropping. I hear the USA is opening 12 or so shuttered ammo plants and investing billions of dollars to bring them online to meet there demand. Hopefully this will allow for the market to come back to some sort of normalcy
