Hey guys,
I recently picked up a box of the 175gr Nosler Accubond Long Range bullets. I checked Nosler's load date and they list R22 as their best powder to use for this particular load, but they don't list R25 (powder they have listed for the 168gr bullets).
I guess my question is, can I use R25 with these 175gr bullets? If so, what would be a good starting load and what would be its max in terms of grains of powder.
For instance, for the 168gr, they have R22 listed with 64.0gr of powder listed as the max.
With the 175gr bullets, they have R22 listed with 62.5gr of powder listed as max. As such, would the theoretical suggested max powder charge for the 175gr+R25 combo be 68.5gr to 69gr (the suggested max for the 168gr+R25 combo is 70.0gr)?
