[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 1196500, member: 1"] Rhian This was our first shooting session. We loaded a 210 Berger VLD to Nosler's stated max with RETUMBO (84.0) and chrono'd 3030 or 3040 (MagnetoSpeed) on about our 45th round out of the barrel. So -- close but not quite fully broken in. Nosler showed 3008 fps. This is where the accuracy node was on our rifle. More velocity is available. Especially considering our chamber and bullet location. Our AOL was about 0.080 greater than Nosler's, resulting in a little more case capacity. Interesting to note Nosler's max velocity with the 300 Win Mag on their website LOAD DATA section is about 120 fps less than what they achieved with the 30 Nosler. For the 300 RUM, with Nosler shows a max of 3051 using 90.5 grains of RL 25. About 6.5 grains more than we used with our rifle -- to gain only 40 FPS by Nosler's reading or 20 FPS by our reading. So I would conclude that the 30 Nosler cartridge has achieved slightly more velocity than I expected - relative to the 300 Win Mag and 300 RUM. Now we both know that in the real world some of us run much more velocity than "max" loads on a bullet company's website. But apples for apples, this looks pretty good. Rhian, do you know of any other good velocity data on the 30 Nosler yet? [/QUOTE]
