I have a couple boxes of the Hornady 338 LM Match 285 gr BTHP part #82306. I am looking to clone this ammo, as I already have chrono data and dope for the boxed stuff. It runs on average of 2750 fps out of my 27" AX. I pulled a couple and weighted the charge at 92.5 grains. The powder inside looks identical to Retumbo. I measured the diameter and length of several dozen sticks of this powder and it is identical to Retumbo. I have a good feeling this is Retumbo, but I am curious if any of you know for certain if the powder Hornady uses is what I suspect? I measured it against H1000 and the sticks are not close at all to H1000.

Any info is greatly appreciated.
 
Not sure of what Hornady uses?

I use Reloader 33 96.6gn. with 285 amax(2700fps)loaded to mag length. I use H1000 90.5gn (2800fps)with the 300 berger otm, loaded long(single loading), a little hot. I live at 6400' above sea level.
