Just picked up one of these guns. It could be my new favorite gun . Here some pictures of the steel i was shooting at 934 yards. My load is Nosler Brass , 215m primer, 162 eldx , and RL26 powder.
I shoot 6 shots to the top right that is about 6"-7" group. Made adjustment and fired my last 2...
RL26 works great in my ridgeline I just picked up . Gun has a 26" BBL and I am getting 3037 fps with 69gr of 26 with the 162 eldx. I shot it out to 710 yards the other day.
It does haul ass. I have a rem700 270 wsm and 0.5 gr under max with it and 140 ab I got 3300. Didn't shoot great but that was no playing with seating depth just mag length. I tried it in my 300 ultra with 178 eldx and hot 3440 fps no pressure.
I'm asking a lot here but I would greatly appreciate if some could run rl26 in a 26" bbl 300rum with 175lrx and 185 vld hunting , and also the same bullets with Rl33.
Thank a bunch
Actually mine is begging for a 150 ablr at 3450-3475fps if I can get it there. I tried the 168 vld but I think I could of shot a better group with a 12ga using buck shot. The 168vld did get up to 3330 fps though.
Today I tried the28 at 760 yards and it still shoots out to 760. The first 3 shots I fired just caught the bottom edge of the plate and measured 3.5". So I gave the shv 1 click up and hit the steel just about 4" low of dead center. I should of gave it 2 clicks and it would of been perfect. Very...
RL17 has been no more temp unstable for me then any of the extreme powders . Great accuracy and awesome velocities with it in many different guns. It is one of my favourite powders. I have chronied load in temps from -15C to +25C and it was great.
So I was out on Monday and shot again thru a buddies chrony with some good lighting finally. My speed with mine averaged 3300fps and thru his the first 3 avg 3350. So I shot 3 more and the avg was 3350 again with an ES of 6 fps. I did try some 168vld and they were great too if your into 8 inch...
So I have the above rifle and have a load I'm very pleased with, using 160 ab. But I would like to try 180 vlds but with the nosler rifle seating depth is a bit of a issue. With my 160 ab the COL is 3.467" and the mag is 3.417" . My load is the max load of RL33 that is in the nosler website @...
I love this scope but not the best for low light with bush in the back ground, other then that its awesome . I sighted in 1.5" high at 100 then took my ballistic info and put it into Isnipe and dialed for 6.75moa and that target was the result.
The rifle is a M48 patriot, I actually built a 28 last spring on a sako 85 but the only thing consistent with it was that is was inconsistent. It would not group consistently so it went down the road. I thought the Patriot M48 was a pretty good deal for what you get.
Hey guys, I am a newbie here but thought I would share what kind of performance I am getting with my 28. I played very little with loads and the 160 AB shot pretty good with 91gr of RL33 , fed215 . 3300 fps 1.0" groups at 100yards off the hood of the truck. So I tried 550yard off the hood and...
