I use Retumbo and H1000, as well as H870.

I have throughly tested H1000, Retumbo and RL 25 while shooting 300 SMKs. I get the highest velocity (per grain), and lowest ES and SD (single digit!!) with Alliant RL 25. H1000 is a close second. Retumbo is good too.

Used Retumbo based on suggestions, proved to work very accurate for my rifle...
