[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1872021, member: 74670"] A month ago I was able to get 8 lbs of N570. I'm looking forward to doing load builds with my 28 Nosler with a 26" barrel. I'm currently using RL33 with 3180 fps using 175 Hornady ELD-X's and sub 1/2" groups. My 30/28 Nosler is at the gunsmith getting a new 28" barrel. In my testing before on my 30/28 Nosler with a 25 1/2" barrel I found H1000 (my favorite powder) to reach pressure sign issues well before the expected velocity was reached. (incrementally beneficial over the 300 Win Mag). With RL33 and Retumbo I was well above what I thought was a safe load, (compressed as I remember) without pressure signs, but not getting expected velocity. The sweet spot powder was RL26. Accurate, high velocities and low pressure signs. So, when my 30/28 rifle comes back from the gunsmith, I was going to switch to 210 - 215 bullets but stick with RL26. Are you all seeing accurate, high velocity results with N570, 210 -215 bullets in your 30/28s? I was going to save my N570 powder for my 28 Nosler. Is it worth it to me to do load work with N570 in my 30 / 28 Nosler? I mean the stuff is like gold, you don't want to waste it. [/QUOTE]
