Hey guys looking to work up a copper load for my 30 nosler a have a bunch of 180 ttsx and want to try those anyone have a good load for the combo? I’ve got lots of retumbo and h1000 so want to start with either of those… not much info out there on the combo for 30 nosler so just looking for a...

Very tempted I just have a very similar rifle in a 30 nosler don’t know if I can justify two big 30’s!

Dang that’s a sweet rifle someone buy this before I do!!

Picked up 2 that’s a heck of a deal… not good for the guys on here trying to sell the same thing for $110 lol

Yeah I agree with the majority on here that I need to keep going up in pressure and the 76 node is pretty narrow so im going to load up a few more and see how the higher node develops and if I start to see any pressure up near 82-83.

I have not proofed either of the loads but I think what I’m going to do is load the 80 back up and continue up until I find pressure like a lot have suggested and hope the higher node continues to improve. Some have also said that my 76 node looks pretty narrow and may be hard to stay in it...

Thanks for your input! I was thinking the same thing you are with working up higher because I have no pressure signs at all I just loaded to 80 because nosler book showed 79 as max with a 210 bullet so just played it safe. But I think I will load up to 82-83 and see if that node continues or get...

Here are my results from my ocw test for reference for you guys…

Yeah I just got through trying retumbo with a 210 vld and the gun did not like it…

So I did a ocw test and seem to have found a really good node I’m shouting 212 eldx with h1000 out of a 26”proof. My question is is my velocity to slow for what the gun is or am I overthinking the velocity aspect of long rang shooting. I’m at 76 gr h1000 @ 2810fps and an es of 9, it’s sub 1/2...

What do you mean by brass being stable? Everything I’ve shot so far is virgin peterson brass… is it going to change a lot when I load back up with once fired brass? I have a lot of brand new brass I just planned on using new brass the whole time…

I also took the advise from a lot of guys on here and shot off the bags again and send the lead sled back. I don’t know if it’s worth mentioning to All of these shots are being fired out of new Peterson brass. And I’ll post a pic of my rifle so you guys know what I’m working with.

Ok guys bringing this thing back up as I finally got out to shoot today and do some seating depth testing. Had some big variations in seating depth, I took my 82.3 load and loaded from touching the lands to .100 off I’ll post up the pic of the original load that was .005 off and I’ll post my...

And I’ll also stick with the bags since that’s what I’ve been doing since the start to keep everything consistent.
