Trying to develop a load for a 28 Nosler using 175 grain ELD-X bullets. Rifle is a custom not factory. It shoots factory ammo good. Before you say it, that is not the point that it shoots factory ammo okay. I have tried R25 and Retumbo from min to max loads published in Nosler book. I have tried setting bullets at book OAL and further out by 15 thousandths. Best group was book OAL and .5 grain below max with R25 but it was only a one inch group. Max loads are max for this rifle, in both powders started showing slight pressure signs. I even measured OAL to ogive on factory ammo to duplicate OAL. That is where I got best groups. It was 5 thousandth shorter than book OAL. Anyone have a load they would share? | ||

How far off the lands are you? I have a custom Lapua that shoots lights out seated 20 thou further out than my Savage Lapua (which is also lights out). I would try more seating depths. Also, might want to try RL33 - my Stiller Lapua loves that. | |||

Do not have my notes at the moment with me. | |||

It is my brother's rifle. We decided to abandon Hornady and going to try Berger and Accubond LR. | |||
