Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Retumbo powder used for?

Retumbo is one of Hodgdon's slowest rifle powders, built for very large overbore magnums like the 7mm Rem Ultra Mag, 300 Rem Ultra Mag, and 30-378 Weatherby. It pairs best with heavy bullets in those big cases. For standard magnums like the 300 Win Mag, H1000 is often the better starting point.

2. Why choose Retumbo over other magnum powders?

Velocity in big cases. Hodgdon says Retumbo adds roughly 40 to 100 fps over typical magnum powders in large overbore cartridges, because its slow burn makes better use of all that case capacity. It's also part of the Extreme line, so it performs consistently in hot and cold hunting weather.

3. Where can I find Retumbo load data?

Hodgdon's free Reloading Data Center and current reloading manuals list Retumbo for the large magnum cartridges it suits. Retumbo loads often fill or slightly compress the case, so read the notes on each load carefully. For load recommendations, stick to the published data for your cartridge and bullet.

4. What powders are closest to Retumbo?

On Hodgdon's burn-rate chart, Retumbo sits in the same range as powders like Ramshot Grand, Norma 217, and IMR 8133. Ramshot Grand is the one most shooters compare it to. None of them are drop-in swaps, so work up from the published starting charge for whichever powder you choose.

5. What sizes does Retumbo come in?

Retumbo comes in 1 lb canisters and 8 lb jugs. Big overbore magnums burn a lot of powder per shot, so many shooters who settle on a load move to the 8 lb jug to stay on one lot longer. Up to 48 lbs of powder and primers ship together under one hazmat fee.

I have been dealing with PV for many years. This is a straight forward, up front store for the best powder available. They quickly pack powder, and other items safely and securely, and they get orders shipped very fast. I would highly recommend PV for all your needs.
