Do you think rl 33 is too slow? Where would a good starting point be? Maybe 80 grains sounds about right. I have other powders that have known loads (h1000, n570) but if I can get good accuracy around 3000fps that would be great. Its a 5r 29 inch krieger barrel.

I think r33 would be too slow. If I were you, Retumbo would be the slowest burning powder id use. Had some great results with 78 grains of Retumbo and the 208 and it LOVES the Berger 215. But I guess you really never know till you try. I might consider trying it on the 230's or 240's but that would be it. Good luck.
Ps, you can get WAY over 3,000 fps with Retumbo on a 29" bbl and a 208. I'm running the 215 Berger at over 3,000 out of a 30" Broughton 5c.
I'd stick with H1000 or N570 but I'm almost out and 570 looks like it will become available Spring of 2017. When Retumbo becomes available somewhere that I can buy more than 2 pounds at a time... It is hard to believe people are paying $84 for two pounds. Thank you for the suggestion and Ill keep hunting for Retumbo.
