[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2050312, member: 104363"] I started having donut issues with Nosler brass. I managed 3100 fps with about 57.6 grains, Hammer Hunter 143. It is not capable, IMO, with Nosler brass of getting up to 3200+ due to primer pockets opening up. I have my next ladder using Peterson brass. Will expect this brass after fireforming to jump to a higher node. I plan on shooting these next week. RE23 is great in this chambering, but as Lance Kenyon mentioned this isn't all there is. Different bullets like faster or slower but if you are diligent you can have good speed, great accuracy and great terminal performance if you want it all. So many choices. Doug Duey, Lance and Steve at Hammer, was also a great resource. Once I started with the mag primers, and donut corrections it really settled down on velocity. That is really key. Variation, bullet performance...wonderful, simple 280AI. [/QUOTE]
