Any ideas on where to start with a 30 Nosler and 200 grain Hornady ELD-X? I have Retumbo, H1000, H4350 and H4831SC that I think would work well. Planning on seating them at the recommended 3.340" length just due to the limited mag space in my Tikka. Any help would be appreciated.

I ran your data in QL. I would recommend dropping back 10% from max load and work up. Hopefully, someone will chime in with more than computer simulated data.
If you haven't come across this yet, there is a way to get a little more COAL. Unfortunately it's not inexpensive.

Thank you for running this in QL. Super nice of you
If you would be so kind, could you run that again with Retumbo?

I've been working up some loads to test with IMR 7828. I think I've got tested data for the 200 grain ELD-X using H1000 at the office. I will look tomorrow and post it here if I do. Really loving my 30 Nosler and was just going to shoot store bought for a while but I like shooting it too much to pay $6.00 a trigger squeeze.
@just_jon is it a big pain to run numbers in QL? I hadn't found data for the 30 Nosler with the 200 gr ELD-X with IMR 7828. I'm planning to start at 65.0 grains and go up 1.0 grain at a time until I start losing accuracy and/or see signs of excessive pressure.

Here you go.
Pretty surprised.. I thought Retumbo or H1000 would have been better. Will still probably try them but will start with 4831SC and see what happens.
Here is a link to some 30 Nosler data from LRO, maybe it will be of some value to you:

7.5" barrel? Lol why?
I had just finished researching 44 mag loads for my Super Redhawk. I'm thinking the Yuengling Black and Tan may have also played a role.
