30 nosler 185gr vld/ 180 ballistic tip

Yoteklr · Jan 17, 2024

Doe anyone have experience loading 185gr vld or 180bt?
My other 30Nosler is a 9twist and have only shot 200gr and heavier bullets.

My new build is a 26" 10twist so I'm going for 195gr to 180gr bullets?
I'm loading Nosler brass if it matters.

Thanks.

All I can say is in 300 win mags, shoots outstanding with 185 classic hunters,77 to 78 grain of h1000. 2 browning a bolts and a christense n Mesa. 180 Partition or AccuBond same load they shoot great. Hope that helps.

My wife has shot her 30 Nosler with the 180 gr BT and AB out to 800 yards and taken several deer out to 400 yards. Great bullet weight for the 30 Nosler.

180 Ballistic Tips and Accubonds shoots real good in my 300 Win Mag. I was googling for some 200 Accubonds to try out, Midway shows that its discontinued. I wondered why.

my othe 30 N load is Reloder25 with 200gr Hybrids.

I'm considering H1000, 7977, Rl25, rl26, maybe 7828, n656, n570 or Retumbo .

Maybe @DrMike could run quickload data?
30 nosler, 26 barrel
Case water capacity 101.4 gr water.
185 Berger vld hunting at 3.461"
185 Berger Hybrid target at 3.530"
185 Berger Juggernaut target at 3.480"
180 Nosler ballistic tip at 3.435".

Thanks in advance.

RL22 works great in the 30 Nosler with 180's.

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

Thank you so much. I'll keep y'all posted on updates.

That 30 Nosler is about the perfect 300 magnum case in my eyes. I love my RUM, but truth be told, if I was to wish it was something else, I wished it was a 30 Nosler. Little shorter case, about the same speeds if you set up the throats correct and man, from the few I have seen, they are wicked accurate.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with them!

And the big 30 Nosler is wicked on Whitetails!

LOL
Actually if I were to get a big 30, I'd be leaning towards the 300 H&H Mag. If I need bigger, I've got the 338 RUM and 375 H&H Mag.

That'd be a great one Jim. I have just started with mine, but it sure does look cool..

My 300RUM had just too much blast for my liking. I eventually rebarreled the rifle and chambered it in 30Nosler. It was a good move. Dropped my first bull elk with that 30Nosler.
