I think we spoke on another post, anyways I'm up to 136gr. of Retumbo with the 370 RBTAL bullets and the velocity I'm showing is just a tad over 3100 and accuracy still seems to be very good. Average group is still under .75

Re: .375 CT + SMK 350 grs load infos
Mojave, I have the same 10.5 tub on my rifle from Lawton and did some testing this past weekend. The 370gr. bullets with 130gr. retumbo shot an average of 2894 fps with sub min groups. I'll be doing some more testing this week and let you know.
I'm sure...
