    30 Nosler

    Hi Guys

    So I’ve just joined this forum because it comes up so much in my google searches!

    Some great info here!

    I’m doing a 30 Nosler build and wondered if anyone has any first had load data using eld-m loaded to max length

    I’m thinking AR2217?

    TIA

    2225 is you friend. Have a mate with a 30Nosler and its performance is very impressive

    Are you comitted to the 30 Nosler, consider doing a 30/28 Nosler.

    28 nosler case is longer with more capacity than the 30. Neck up 28N to 30 cal.

    Ryan Pearce in the US has been building a few of them with great success.

    Berger are better in both my mates 30N and my 300NM past 1000m, inside this both are roughly as accurate as each other.

    I’ve read about it and don’t want the bother for a few extra FPS.

    Mate has 28 nosler and compared the cases, about 1.5-2mm longer to the shoulder.

    For me this is about building a modern cased 300 magnum comparable to WinMag and build the rifle around the optimum bullet and CBTO

    So any good loads for 30 Nosler with 225 eldm’s

    2217, 2225?

    Cheers A

    86 grains of 2217 for a mild 3050. I know guys were getting more but that was accurate and plenty fast enough for what I want and need
