[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1259643, member: 12193"] I need to work up some loads in a custom 30-378 and can't find much info. Hornady does have some data out so I'll probably start with that, but has anyone here tried this combo or anything similar? I have H1000, Retumbo, and RL33 on hand that I'll be loading in Nosler brass with Fed 215s. This rifle does have freebore so I'll probably go with Hornady's recommended 4.000" OAL to start with. Is RL33 the best choice here? Looking for a load that's a few grains below max that will give good accuracy. Not too concerned about squeezing velocity out of it since this thing is a screamer already. Here is the Hornady data (26" BBL) RL33 102.1 2900 fps 105.3 3000 fps 108.5 3100 fps 111.7 3200 fps Edit: OAL needs to be 3.600-3.650 to match factory ammo jump to lands. Not sure what Hornady is thinking with the 4.000" measurement. [/QUOTE]
