[QUOTE="Eric_on_Fire, post: 1701403, member: 110520"] I haven't had success in working up an satisfactorily accurate load for my 30 Nosler CA Traverse. I've only shot 100 of the 200gr .308" Edge TLR bullets so far, trying seating to 0.002 - 0.033" jump, and H1000 loads between 75gr - 79gr. Best load so far shoots 0.6 MOA Mean Radius (or about 1.7" 5-shot groups at 100 yards). For comparison, this rifle shoots 212gr ELD-X bullets at 0.3 MOA Mean Radius (or about 0.8" 5-shot groups at 100 yards). I have three more boxes of these to try to find a good load with, but I'm starting to lose hope that this is the perfect projectile that I had hoped for! It's quite likely that other rifles will do just fine with this bullet, but I am concerned with the copper bumps that are present on the shanks of about half of my bullets (obtained from two vendors, so likely not the same lot, although there is no lot number on the boxes). The bullets measure 0.308" diameter as they should, except that they measure 0.310" at these bumps. The bump is large enough to prevent these bullets from sliding into the neck of a fired case. These 0.002" don't have the black nickel coating so they are pretty obvious; might be worth sorting the blemished ones out, but I haven't resorted to that yet. I measured 50 bullets, and found the mean weight to be 200.01gr with a standard deviation of 0.38gr, and the mean base-to-ogive length to be 0.9689" with a standard deviation of 0.0029".
