[QUOTE="Louisiana Reloader, post: 3040211, member: 123382"] Nice rifle btw. I have a 28 Nosler Browning Hells Canyon X-Bolt with 26” barrel and 1 in 8 twist and below are my numbers and recipes: 175 ELD-X; bumping shoulders -.002”; 95 grains of H870 averaging 3,275 fps and groups staying around 1/2” at 100 yards. Obviously they don’t make H870 anymore but a good substitute is US879 and there seems to be a good supply of it. I use the H870 with heavier bullets in my 28 Nosler and 300 RUM because I have several pounds of it. For lighter bullets, I use LRT. LRT is an excellent substitute for RL33 and is just only slightly faster burn rate—but not much. I am loading 95 grains of LRT; bumping shoulders -.002”; averaging 3,414 fps with 150 grain Swift Scirocco; groups around 1/2” at 100 yards. I am primarily using Hornady and Nosler brass but I would be using ADG if I could have found some right when I bought the gun. I did find Nosler and Hornady brass and bought up a good supply of it so I am good on brass now. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
