30 Nosler 230 Berger Load Data

[fishingstockwell]

What is a good starting load with N570 and the 230 Berger hybrid target Bullet. The rifle has a very long freebore. With the 215s the bottom of the bearing surface is half way up the neck and I still have .060 jump to the lands. Currently shooting 86.5 grains of N570 with the 215s at 3050 FPS, with plenty of room to go up from there without hitting pressure signs. I believe the reamer was designed for the 212 eld-x, with a much longer bearing surface, so a little to long for the 215s. Any help with a good starting load would be appreciated. If anyone is shooting the 230s in a 30 Nosler with N570, I'm curious what kind of velocity you are getting.

What did you wind up with for velocity? I am on the fence between rebarreling a RUM to 30 Nosler or sticking with 300 RUM.

Usually about 2 grains less for a 230! Drop three if you want and work up. Easy button is 2940 ish.
