[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 703909, member: 5219"] 10-7-2012 Continuing with RL-33: 257 Weatherby moly 110 accubond: 83 3625 which slightly faster than old load with RL-25 83.5 3674 fps shot well two shots were same velocity 84 gr 3704 fps shot well two shots were same velocity 84.5 gr 3735 slight signs of pressure on one case of four this is max case capacity with drop tube This makes a 91 fps gain over a max load of RL-25 6mm-284 non moly Berger target hybrid worked up to 64.5 gr which showed slight lift with very tiny shiny spot on case head from Rem 700's ejector hole. (This is with 8 times fired lapua brass) 62.5 gr 3376 63 gr 3414 63.5 gr 3453 64 gr 3485 fps excellent accuracy 64.5 gr 3535 a bit warm max case capacity using drop tube Old velocity with Retumbo was 3307 which was the highest charge of powder without pressure issues. RL-33 yielded a 178 fps increase! I will be replacing the 6mm-284 load if it continues to work well in the next few shooting sessions. Ditto for the 257. I look forward to hearing on what others get with similar over bore cases like the 7 RUM, 257 STW, 6.5-300 weatherby, and many of Kirby's magnums. [/QUOTE]
