Nosler RDF 210g issues

[smokin502]

I've been trying to perfect this load for some time now and really thought I was done. I have a 300wm, Norma brass that's weight sorted, .001 off the shoulder, necks trued, .002 neck tension with mandrels, with these 210g Nosler RDF. Seated them not too close to the lands just don't have the number with me. I've read they like a little jump. Check the pics at 100 yds.

The last pic was Hornady 208g eld-m that I threw together just to fire form new brass. I don't even remember how much powder was used. I believe in the middle of low and max amounts. Seated them to fit in the mag.
The S.D. 13 and E.S of 6. 10 shots.

I would do a seating depth test and that should tighten the groups up. Then you can fine tune the powder charge afterwards if you have to.

I've read that these are not easy to get to group. Might switch to 208 eld-m or 210g bergers

I read the same thing….then I tried them myself. You can get them to shoot into a ragged hole with a little work.
They don't like touch or even closer than .030" in my experience.
I have not been able to source more than my initial purchase, so they have been shelved and I started using the 220g Sierra.

Cheers.
