30 cal bullets

I would like to test out a few of the heavier 30 Cal bullets. Anyone have a handful of bullets over 200 grains that I can buy to load test with? (200.20x, 212s, 215s, 220s or others)

What do you have for twist?

1:9. 30-06. Thinking with the newer powders I can possibly shoot some heavies.. (rl 26 for example).

Got you. Yes RL26 will work good with heavy bullets. I ran out of space before hitting pressure.

How many bullets do you need of a given weight and brand for testing?

I would think 15 should do? Maybe less.

If you have any load data feel free to pm me.

I shoot a 300 SAUM with Berger's 200 20X Bulles with IMR 4350
Great bullet

My load data would most likely not work. I have a .250 jump to the lands and seating the 215 Berger with a COAL of a little over 3.6".

If you pay the shipping I will send you 15 Berger 215 Hybrid bullet to test if you want.

Ok, let me know where to send the money. Thanks.

Curious, would Rl26 be similar to RL22 or 17?

Different burn rate....if you do a search in the reloading section you will find a pretty long thread on RL26. There are several people talking about powder charges and bullets in there. As always, start low and work up. Good luck!

PM me you address so I can get the shipping price. RL26 is slower and has a higher fill rate.

Still in need of 12 berger 210gr, and 12 212 ELDx
