Thinking on building a 33 Nosler. Anyone have experience with this cal ? Basically 340 Wby performance from a std length action. Anyone have any loads that performed particularly well ?

as it's a derivative of my "smaller" AccRel cases, it will likely work well - i designed the 338 AccRel over a decade prior .. and decided it was "just" a 340, and didn't work on it past test mule

my case is slightly larger, and matching 340 wasn't hard

I just built one on a LH Stiller action in a Manners EH1 stock with a 26” Proof barrel and had it throated to use the full 3.6” mag length with 250gr Bergers. Whole rifle with scope finished at 8.75lbs.

If it would cool off a bit I could actually get around to load development. Going to start with H4831SC and may play around with RL26 to see what kind of velocity I get.

Try R33 or H1000 also. They seem to work well in the 28 and 33 Nosler
