I've tried them all and had the best luck with RL50 in South Texas 26 Nosler 28 in Hart #4 barrel 140 gr Berger Elite Hunter 86.8 grains of RL50 3.510 COAL 3410 FPS and extremely accurate.

Lol, still haven't done anything with the Sako.

I've had good success with RL33 and even better luck with RL50. In south Texas, heat related pressure is more a problem than in cooler areas and RL 50 is very stable.

I've got a really nice Sako AV in 338 Win Mag that I just never use. I have a hankering (maybe I spelled that right) for another 28 Nosler, and I wondered: 1. if any of you guys have used this action to build one on? 2. What issues you may have encountered if any and any applied solutions for...

I can't tell the difference between the 2nds and 1st.

I have to disagree. I rarely ever shoot at anything over 500 yards. I shoot the EOLS because they're crazy accurate, as easy as anything else to develop a load for, and they kill everything I shoot with them. Now if I were going moose or bear hunting, I'd probably sling a TSX or Partition but...

Me Too BignGreen! What I find are lots of very dead animals laying in the same place they were standing when I shot them. Just aim at the kill zone, and squeeze the trigger ;)

At 600 and under, I'd shoot 160 accubonds for everything and I'd shoot with confidence.

At that price and for a hunting scope, all thevafor mentioned scopes are great. I killed a lot of deer with an old Bauch & Lomb 2-8x36. I remember when a VX-3 or a Nikon Monarch was a dream for me and those scopes are still plenty good enough for almost any hunting applications. A good point was...

If I set up my throat for the 156s, will it hurt the way my rifle shoots the 140 EOLs? I super accurate with them at 3430 out of a 28" Hart barrell. Oh, 86.8 grains of RL50 with a COAL of 3.505 if this helps anybody. I'm very happy with this but the thought of over 3300 with 156s could drive me...

Haven't loaded the 143 eldx yet but rl50 has been the ticket for me with 140 VLD's. Average group under 1/2 inch and average speed (very consistent) of 3430 fps. 86.6 grains and no pressure signs but I'd work up to that.

I've got an M48 Custom Shop 30 Nosler that shoots really great (actually I have 2) that I would part with. Sent you a piece of of it lol. That's all I had on this phone. It turns these bug axis in texas a flip! $2350 from Nosler. I'll take $2100. It'll killed as far as you want to kill one;)

I have one or more of most everything out there. It took a long time to get there and costed a lot of money but it's what I like. Not because I needed them and not because they aren't capable of the same things in most cases. One of the few I don't own is a 6.5 CM. It's not because it won't kill...
