33 Nosler for the 2024 Season

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

Anyone shooting the 33 Nosler for hunting?
We may be building a custom one for the 2024 Hunting season for sale.
Already have a Krieger 1:9.3 Barrel, TT Diamond Trigger, New PT&G Reamer, COUP DE GRÂCE Action and Brass, Stock???
Just thinking in advance.
Thanks

Just getting back to shooting mine later today. Basically have only broke the barrel in at this point. I'm going to try the 250 badlands bulldozer-2 and the 252 CEB mth max today. Also going to try the 270 eldx and 265 lrab. I'm using Peterson brass.

My build parts:
Kelbly Nanook
Manners LRH
TT Diamond
Brux 1:9.5 (or.35) rem varmint
Salmon River Solutions tipro5
Unknown Munitions bottom metal and mag
I still need to do a couple more things like adding a SRS arca rail.

Very nice rifle. What is your barrel length? Please post up your results and velocity with those different bullets.

I guess I forgot that. The barrel is 25" long.

I did a few rounds early on to find pressure with the Badlands super bulldozer-2 250 grain and rl 26. I had this throated for the 270 Eldx which allows the 250 grain class monos sit very well in the neck also. The OAL I started with was 3.662" which put them .020" off the lands.
78 grains 2863
79 grains 2879
80 grains 2913
81 grains 2948
82 grains 2991 click at top of bolt lift. Huge jump in speed. Stopped here and explored between 78 and 79.
I couldn't get this bullet to shoot playing with charge and seating depth .
Yesterday I gave one last effort with the Badlands and ran them seated a little deeper at 2.791" BTO which was .040" off the lands. Still didn't shoot good. The speeds were very consistent though. The garmin read 2870 2857 and 2860fps with 78.8 grains of Rl 26.

Next I had a short pressure test loaded up with Rl 26 and the 252 grain Cutting Edge MTH Max. These were seated at 3.606" OAL. It was a s***show getting everything loaded in the truck and drive a couple miles down the road to shoot and I ended up having one of the rounds fall out of my bag on my deck at home. I had 78 79 and 80 grains loaded for that. I only had the 79 and 80 grain loads with me.
79 grains 2882
80 grains 2929

I'll have to re do this and go higher to find max pressure for my rifle. I'm going to abandon the Badlands and order some 250 grain Cutting Edge Lazer Max. I do have 265 grain MTH Max and 260 Maximus but might just move those to buy the Lazers for a hunting round and practice with eldx (if they shoot well). Also have 250 grain Berger and SMK on the shelf I may try.

I really like the size/capacity of this round. Even throated "properly" (in my mind) this still fits great in a CIP length magazine with room to spare.

Here's the 250 Badlands next to the 252 CEB.

Len I have lots of brass and a fair bullet selection when you get the build done and are needing components
