Thread: Nosler28 loads 180ELDMs with RL33

Started some load D on N28, running 180 ELDMs .... initial ladder went up to 88 gns RL33, pressure and bolt lift good. Then went 88 - 89.7gns .... pressure & bolt lift still ok.
89.3 - 89.7 looks promising with shots almost touching and speed north of 3200 fps. Need to run some 3-5 shot grps to confirm sweet spot.
Book max I can find seems to be around 85 -86gns. (175 gn pill = 88gn max, and 185gn pill = 85 gn max).
Anyone got any insights or experience on realistic safe max loads ? (1:9 twist)

In load dev i went up to 88.5gr with 195s. There were pressure signs there, so I can see why you're fine up there with 180s.

All depends on your gun and the chamber length etc mate.

Just keep doing what your doing and don’t rely on anyone else...

yep, just figured I'd ask in case I'm already "very close to the edge"

Yeah wasn’t trying to cut you off at the knees ...

Good data there....
