[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 2952294, member: 67706"] Forgot I started this thread until a different one on the 33 Nosler popped up. I changed a couple things and this barrel is on its own Kelbly Nanook and Manners LRH stock with a Leupold Mark5hd 5-25 on it for now. Might drop down to the 3.6-18 Mark5hd. Rifle, mount, and optics the rifle weighs 10 pounds 2 ounces. [ATTACH type="full"]512825[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]512826[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]512827[/ATTACH] 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.
