I’m almost done with my cheytac build! I figured it was time to get some powder ordered. It looks like it’s still impossible to find retumbo or VVN570. Has anyone used RL33 with 350gr bullet? Or does anyone know of any other good substitutes. I’ll be shooting CE 350gr MTH.
 
Did somebody say Retumbo?

Any reason you're choosing the MTH by CE instead of the Laser? If you plan on hunting with it, the laser is still a great hunting bullet! We have seen better performance from the lasers both in 350 grain with a 1:10 twist and the 400 grain with a 1:7 twist.

I am running the 400 Lazer CE with 129.3gr of N570. But i would think if you plan on using the 350 CE or other 350ish gr bullet you could use N565 which is slightly fast burn the N570 and should work well for the lighter bullet. Powder Valley has a bunch of N565 in stock (just looked) and this is an option.

I might give that a try. Any suggestions for a starting load with that? Haven’t used any VV powders before.

What city are you located at in AZ? I just got my ELR rifle built and I live near Ben Avery and was looking for others that shot ELR to shoot and train together.
