Thanks. So it is 1 grain more than ADG 30. That is right at what owners have told me 300NM is.

well you cant just leave us hanging!! is this with rl26 or vvn570?
Thanks for sharing. I will put that in my capacity list.
What would you like to know? It has a 1 grain wide node at 3k. I will take a slow wide node over a fast very small node any day. This is my first dealing with 30 Nosler ADG brass but I would expect it to last a loooong time.
Gothcha. H1000 and cci 250s. My chamber is a little over .200 freebore. Since it was slow I ran a ladder with N570 hoping it would have a node up top but this barrel hates N570. Hates. Like I said just because the case will push it does not mean there will be accuracy there.

H1K is my go too … never let me down and always works.
ive been running the ADG 30 nosler 20" proof 215@2845 and the brass has been very good. my reamer is also .200" FB

I can tell you that I dont have to step on my 30-28 nearly as hard as I have with 3 30 noslers I've loaded for. Granted the 30's were with Nosler brass and I started throwing the cases in the garbage after 3 firings at 3100. I backed them off to 3050 and they shot well and the brass lasted.
All 3 30 Noslers were with the same reamer with .225 freebore 2 with 25" tubes and 1 26". 2 proof steel barrels and 1 Rock Creek.
I can tell you the 30-28 will knock on the heels of a 300NMI with just pure velocity and probably even closer with N570 will it shoot there that remains to be seen.
Right now I'm done shooting mine untill it gets a break my shoulder cant take it anymore. The last time I shot it it's very close almost to the .5 m.o.a at 500 and I havent played with seating depth yet.
Right now it working in the 3107 range I have some N570 I may just run it up just for giggles to see where pressure is.
Wont be until this spring though.

Brutal is more like it. I've got right at 100 rounds on it right now I was hoping to get it finished then after hunting season get a brake on it but my shoulder was done.

Cheers for the discussion lads, it was awesome to come back and catch up on how it all evolved.
I'm not looking for an all out hi-po cartridge, 50 -100fps means jack to me, I'm after consistency and outright accuracy at the end of the day. When I was tossing up re-barreling the rifle for the third time in 28 Nos I stumbled on some info on Accurate Shooter and saw people doing the 30-28 Nos with excellent results. So off to another shooter went the 28 Nos and i started building a better mouse trap on a decent Bat HR action..
If I was serious about chasing V0 numbers, I'm using the wrong case, a 30-338LM would likely be the choice I'd make...
My 300 Norma Mag wouldn't shoot 230 hybrids any faster than 2985 without spraying them shot gun style, so if I can match or better those V0 numbers with the Nosler case I'll be more than content.
Is anyone here using a 30 Nosler sized case with the 230 hybrids?

I h
I'll just be more patient and wait until the rifles ready to go and do some testing..
Thanks for your help though!
I have PM'd Alex before, he was not really that easy to get info out of, I contacted him via Accurate Shooter and FaceBook... But got the impression he wasn't super stoked to help out.
