| Had a question that I wanted to throw around. I had heard from a buddy of mine that Hodgson Retumbo powder dosent perform in extreame cold conditions as well as in warmer weather. Has any body else heard this or is this the first? I use the heck out of this powder in my .300 RUM, never had a problem with it but I guess I havent tested it in extreame cold. Around 0 degrees F. is the coldest that I've killed critters at, just wornding let me know what you guys have heard. thanks. |

| Retumbo is in the extreme line of Hodgdon powders are are made specifically to perform in extreme hot and cold temps. I use it exclusively in my 300 RUM and couldn't be happier with the results. You will not find a better powder for that caliber in my opinion. :thumbsup1: |

| Hey chester, if you dont mind me asking what bullets are you using for that RUM? I've benn using the 200gr partition but have been thinking of going with a lighter bullet to get a little more speed out of it. Got any you like? |
