Contact Berger Tech Support. Also, see similar threads below.Just seeing what everyone else is running in there 30 nosler. 220 berger 230 berger ect. I run a .162 freebore reamer
I have three 30 Nosler's, all of them were chambered with a .225 freebore reamer. All of them started with ADG virgin brass all three were right at 88gr of VV N568 to get to 3,050fps. Once fired ADG brass they were all different grains to get to 3,050fps. One is @ 88.5, one is @ 88.8 and the third one is @ 89.0. I did not have time do a ladder on any of the three prior to hunting last season but they all had ES in the teens and single digit SD's. All of them shot exceptional groups at 200, 600 and 800 yards. I will fine tune this winter.@Liddy how many grains of n568 you run if you don't mind?

Update us on the 199 hammers to include best powder used205 and 220 Berger's. Used Retumbo mostly and H1000. The 220's liked 86 gr of Retumbo.
I will be working with 199 Hammer Hunters when weather permits.
Will do. I started last fall but ran out of time. Was using H1000 and ran a ladder from 85.5gr - 88.5. Velocity was 3003 - 3118 over that range with 20" 9twist. 87 and up were compressed slightly. No heavy lift or ejector marks.Update us on the 199 hammers to include best powder used
