7828 will still be slow but it will be better than the H1000 I would bet something in the 4350's is where you will need to beJust my luck! What would you suggest for the 155's. I do have RL25 and some IMR 7828 that's not being used for anything important right now. Thanks again........................JR
I would think the the 4350's or the 4831I have a 26 nosler 8 twist 26", IMR & H 4350, IMR & H 4831,IMR 7828 ssc, Rl 26, and H 1000. I have 123 gr and 129 gr. AH, where should I start?
I'm running the 172 Absolutes in my 7 STW with RL26 Do you have any of it?Been following this thread since it started. I picked up a Christensen Mesa in 28 Nosler for a New Years present for myself and am just finishing up the break in process. It shoots the factory Hornaday Precision Hunters with the 162 ELD-x in a cloverleaf . Been dabbling with some 169 Hammer hunters that shoot well but like everyone else my powder selection is quite limited, all I really have for that weight of bullet is Retumbo. I ordered some of the 155 Absolute Hammers that should be here by the weekend hoping I could use some H1000 behind the lighter pill. Anyone try this combo and have a good starting load. I looked in the Nosler load data and they have a starting load for 150's @ 74.5 grains and maxes out @ 79.3. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.......................JR
Rifle photos? Ooh, just brass. Very light ejector marks. Good place to stop. Groups next?
I ya r tried them. I was able to get a full gr more powder xbr in without over pressure from my 99gr hammer. But I needed more room. Recently picked up some rl10 which is 85 percent fill as opposed to 106 for xbr and is a bit faster. Haven't had time to run them yet as a new house has me swamped.I have been wanting to try the 97 grain ab hammers to gain some speed in my grendel i run a 100 griain eld at 2760 with benchmark i happy with that load but the claim that u can get 200x300 fps higher is a tempting thought.
3 times the money per bullet is also a bummer ,but for hunting it shouldnt break the bank.
if anyone has tried them in a grendel please post results
thx
