[QUOTE="Alaska2006, post: 1360051, member: 92741"] Before the brow beatings begin let me just say; I'm asking a question and have no opinion at this point. I've recently drank the 28 Nosler cool aid and feeling a bit guilty because I'm an STW fan. With that I've done a fair bit of research on the 28 Nosler and it seem most folks are running RE33 to push the big berger 195s. My question is has anyone tried the ADI AR2218 powder? Looking at quickload it appears AR2218 could offer superior performance over RE33. Yes I know quickload is simply a simulation model and may not align with actual testing; but I can say from experience quickload has been very close to my actual results when testing loads. According to the quickload model ADI AR2218 running at the exact same case and bullet specs and matching the same pressures it appears ADI AR2218 is a strong 100 fps faster than RE33. I'm not that interested in running the 195 Bergers at 3,168 fps as I am interested in running them at 3,057 (as the RE33 load) but at much reduced pressures. Yes I know some will say 50BMG is the Hodgdon equivalent to ADI AR2218 but that is not what the quickload data shows. I have not received my long throated 28 Nosler yet so I cannot do actual testing at this time. Mainly wondering if anyone on this site has already been down this road and has first hand experience.
