[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2867777, member: 115190"] Good luck. I am curious to hear your results. I'd use H4831sc or H1000 or Retumbo, temp stable powders. Never got great results from RL23 or RL26, but in a 7mag and 300 wm. RL26 was faster, but dropped like 40 fps from 80° to 40°, so I went to H1000 in a 7mag with a 180 gr. Was about 1 fps per degree change in speed exactly if I remember correctly. And RL23 is pretty temp stable but didn't give me good accuracy, like RL22 with lighter bullets in a 7mag. RL22 worked well in a 300 wm with a 190 smk. But it's not very temp stable. I'm doing a 33 Nos as well but with a lighter bullets shortly, got everything but the barrel. I plain on using RL16 and a 160 or 185 ttsx or a 200 bd2 and H4831sc, pretty temp stable powders. In WY where we go it can be 30° at sun up and 60° in the afternoon. So I tend to stick to "H" powders and RL16. Am gonna try to kept my muzzle energy under 4000#'s so a 7.5-8# rifle doesn't kill on both ends. I got 250 pc's of Nosler Brass(on clearance at midwayusa for $2.00 a pc, overstock I believe) which is made by Peterson, branded Nosler. I was surprised to see that sale back in 2020. That's a nice rife you got there. Hopefully BD2's shoot for yeah. Am trying them this week in a 243. [/QUOTE]
