[QUOTE="NBK, post: 1277203, member: 100140"] We just finished (Jan 8th) a 30 Nosler JP build and there was no disappointment. JP over at Fine Firearms is an amazing gun builder Bighorn SR3 action (we received serial #1 & 2) 26" Brux #5 barrel 4 groove 9 twist McMillan Game Warden stock Carbon filled (blind magazine) Jewell trigger (2lbs) Wyatt extended box blind magazine, follower and spring Fine Firearms muzzle break Remington ADL aluminum trigger guard The gun shoots lights out and has already shot an elk as well as ding donged the 1K gong with ease. I worked up two loads with the 215 Bergers. 83.6 grains of Retumbo for a velocity of 3050 fps from the doppler 82.8 grains of Magnum for a velocity of 3015 fps from the doppler The 30 Nosler JP reamer allows for a bit more breathing room for powder and bullet. So 3000+ FPS with the 215 Berger was achieved with ease. Both of the above loads proved to be very accurate but another load that shot well came from 80.3 grains of Retumbo @ 2900 fps from the Magneto Speed. The group shown was shot #'s 1- 6 through the new barrel. There were no seating depth changes (all were .035" of the lands) and the Nosler brass was stuffed with GM215M primers, necks and flash holes cleaned etc. I have brass ready to be stuffed with H1000 next. The gun seems to shoot everything very well so far. And I will experiment with the 212 ELD-X as well. The gun currently has 117 rounds through it. It is finished for the exception of Cerakote. We left on a late season elk hunt last week and ran out of time. The two elk we shot (while not a convincing sample size) proved to showcase the 30 Nosler/215 Berger combo to be quite deadly. The damage the bullets caused were extensive to say the least. We were not afforded long shots, however the guns were impressive on the game regardless! I hope this thread continues as there is merit to be given to a cartridge that is so easy to load, doesn't seem finicky and is certainly a contender in .30 caliber class. Below is gun #2 in the test chassis with a Leupold Competition Series 40x scope for load development. Looking forward to posting some more info regarding further testing as well as reading data from others. [/QUOTE]
