Just did some testing today. Factory Proof Research 300 PRC pre-fit for TL3. 26" 1:9. Chrono speeds from magneto speed. I run ~ 0.002" of neck tension via expander mandrels but use a 0.334 bushing on neck turned skim cut Hornady brass. I was 0.020" off and did 77.5, 78.0 and 78.5, yielded...

To give you an idea of my first barrel I was running 78.7 g of H1000 Getting 3100 ft./s on a 24 inch barrel with the 175ELDX now I’m getting roughly the same with the ELD ems out of a 26 inch barrel with only 77.6 grains

I sold my 1st one prior to burning it out but only had 190~ on it. On my current rifle I had 450 rounds down a 24” Bartlein HV profile and shot it like a PRS rifle sometimes firing 10 shot groups. I ran it hot load wise and hard shooting wise shooting fast and sometimes suppressed. It started...

Yes for those skeptics I know that its not 5 shots but shooting a magnum has kept me from doing this. I found it to be very effective. Without excessive barrel heating, mirage, etc. I extensively track my reloading data and plot it in excel to find trends very quickly for accuracy and ES/SD...

I have the same issue trying to load developer fast. I am on my 2nd 28 Nosler rifle and 3rd barrel overall. I did this: H1000 max load 78.5 for me so I went 77.3 77.6 77.9 78.2 x4 rounds each all at 0.020” off the lands That’s 16 I chrono 1 from each to get an idea of velocity and fps then shoot...

Heck yes good news and good to hear!

I have been shooting the 28 Nosler since 2016 with the 180 Berger Hybrids 180 ELDM and 175 ELDX. LOAD DEVELOPMENT WISE first the 175 ELDX is a PITA. I can’t get it to shoot nearly as well as the ELDM or Berger. I shot a coyote with the 180 ELDM at ~280yards as it was sitting facing me and it...

24" bartlein 77.9 h1000 .02 jump got 3022 with 175 eldx and 78.7 went 3110 magneto speed chrono used. NOTE 78.7 IS HOT in my gun and 78.9 had sticky bolt lift

Selling on snipershide as well as here, Built in 2016 summer timeframe. College blows. I'm broke and have projects I planned while I was still employed that are about to eat my soul... -Only 158 Rounds have been fired through this action / barrel. -I have a Defiance Machine Deviant...

Hey guys and welcome! this is my 2nd post here. I have a Defiance long action that was having feeding issues with the 28 nosler. It caught up on the case at the back end towards the rim. Just had a gunsmith work a bartlein barrel and I noticed he didn't chamfer the edges of the barrel...

I had to get the redding VLD seating stem from Brownells to help with variance issues. Long story short the nose is so long it bottoms out on the seating stem adjustment.
