Curious if anyone has experience with RL33 in the 30 Nosler pushing 210 gr. ABLR. My current load is 83gr. Of ramshot magnum with 200 gr. ELDx avg velocity 3034 FPS. That load showed some temp sensitivity on an elk hunt last season with extreme weather changes. Thought I would try out some RL33. Hard to find any info on this powder caliber combo. Just wanting to get an idea what a rough min-max may be.

RL33 is not temp stable, I have it and use it in my 28 Nosler, I like the accuracy using it, but in TX we do not have extreme cold winters and our summertime is very hot, I just develop the load in the temp I am hunting and don't use it in the summer. I have read a lot of people using H1000 for the big 30 calibers with great accuracy.
I agree with the above 33 is not the most stable.
Its not the fastest but H1000 is great for low ES and temp stability.
I'm running it in my 30 nos pushing a 230 berger at 2935 with an es of 10. I ran that combo to 2975 but 2935 is the sweet spot.
