[QUOTE="Alaska2006, post: 1477457, member: 92741"] I finally got to the range with my 28 Nosler. Tried something new; xx.x gr of RL50 was just a load I dreamed up by doing some QL research and barrel time measures. I loaded 8 rounds just to see how RL50 would perform in the 28 Nosler. Defiance hunter action, 27.25" proof carbon (bull), 4 port beast break, Manners EH-1A. Berger 195 Elite hunter, CCI 250 mag, Nosler Brass (third firing) .I'm at 5,500' elev. and shooting in temps at 70.5-72.0 this morning. Hard to believe but according to the lab radar these ran out at average MV of 3,164 with an amazing ES of 6 and SD of 2.9. QL claims this is on the upper end of the load but I had zero pressure signs, no ejector marks; maybe a slight tarnish on a couple case heads (these may have been from a previous firing) As for group; well I wasn't really shooting for groups but the load performed well at <.5 but this was only at 100 yards. I'm going to try and get out again over the long weekend and test a few more RL50 rounds I have 20 rounds loaded 4 each in .3 gr increments up to what I shot today. I have no desire to run this bullet that fast (3,164 MV) so I have down loaded in .3 gr. [/QUOTE]
