.28 Nosler w/rl25

[buckrub30-378]

Looking through all of the .28 nosler threads why is it that nobody runs RL25, I'm trying it with some 175 nosler ablr and having great accuracy results, not sure of my velocity's yet because my focus right now is just finding the most accurate load, send that no matter what grains I use it likes. My barrel is a 1/9 twist which I have tried some RL33 with Berger 195EOL which Berger said I would be fine to use out to 600 yards then my bullet would become unstable

RL 25 is too temp sensitive, better powders out there. I wouldnt waste barrel life with the 28 nosler with a powder that isn't as good as others.

It's an accurate powder in overbore cartridges. I've used it recently in a 7-300wm from 50-90 degrees. It has a reputation for pressure spikes at high temps although it is entirely manageable. Just develop your load at the highest temp range you intend to shoot it in.
Temp sensitivity is reported to be approx. 1.4 fps/degree. Many ballistics calculators accommodate powder temp as a variable. This should help you stay on target.

I've been using R25 in my 7 Mashburn Super for a long time along with the 175's/180's. It perks darn well, if you have it by all means give it a go. From my experience in my Mash you should find plenty of speed as well accuracy!

I try do do all of my shooting in as cool of temps as possible, live in Washington so temps are never really to extreme, during the summer I do all of my shooting at sunrise in higher elevations, rifle is my pack rifle for hunting, temps then will be from 20°-40° usually

I run RL25 in my 6.5 prc. No complaints in 3 years. But.... yes if you are running a max load it can get temperamental in real hot conditions.

real world if you're running a max load in real hot conditions the same can be said of most all powders.....just saying
