Peterson Brass

[41rem]

Just received 100 pc of this in 28 Nosler. Now do I start from scratch or take a proven load & begin there?

I'd imagine the .5 MOA load I'm currently using that's 1.5 grain below the Nosler reloading books maximum load using Nosler brass would be safe in this, but unsure. If I drop 2.5 grains I'll be at the book starting load.

I would start at the starting load and load up 1/2gr until you reach your Nosler load and compare the two. Better to be safe than sorry.

New brass have slightly smaller volume / internal capacity than fireformed brass, like RL mentioned, start from the starting load and work up, its the safest way to do it. You can find a tune using new brass until you shot all 100 pieces and final tune your loads after its fireformed.

Yeah I agree, I'll go the safe route.

Was your "proven load" developed in Peterson brass?

 

[41rem]

Nope was on Nosler brass

Takes but one shot over the chrono to tell you where you are at.

That’s how I do it

Agreed

Going to load a few up today starting at 78.0 grain and working up

Ran all my Peterson brass thru the neck only die, then cleaned up the case mouths on the Forster. Seated Federal 215s yesterday. Ready to load.
