[QUOTE="Copper Basin, post: 1960440, member: 53829"] Here is the last of my load work for the 28 SM, N570, 195 Elite Hunters with ADG brass. My final load is 81g, Fed 215GM and BTO 2.910. My MV is 3193fps with a 27 ES. This was and easy load with no pressure and no slight ejector kiss. Bolt lift was just as you want it. Brass looked good. This load will shoot sub .5 MOA or better. It shoots better than I do. Not 3200fps but close enough with the 195's. I will load more up and run it out to 1430. My range has metal out that far so I will see how it performs. One note though. I worked Hornady brass as well and really experienced pressure problems at lower charges. For myself, I will not use this brass in these builds (30 SM and 28SM). I wasted too much time trying to make it work. Just my opinion on rifles I have built and done load work for. I do my own builds and do not farm out the work. I ran some IMR 8133 since Retumbo is not to be found. I started with 195 Elite Hunter, 77g, Fed 215, H brass (mistake), and a BTO of 2.910. MV was 3005 and an ES of 25. Jumped to 78.5g 8133 in the same setup and got 3072fps with 22es. Got some pressure here because of the brass. I will run ADG with this load next time and should get in the low 3100's. Could be a good back up load if N570 is not around. It appears the slower the powder the better the 195's run. I am looking for some RE 33 or maybe US 869. I am not not sure if this will get better results or I may just stay where I am at. 195's at 3193 is fine by me. My 28 Nosler builds only push them 3038 so that is a big jump in horsepower. These are loads that have worked for me and how I chamber a rifle. They probably will NOT work in other rifles. This is for information only. Best of luck to all and Good shooting. [/QUOTE]
