So I got my hands on some of the nosler rdf 105's to try for a 6 mm Creedmoor. Currently my load is 41.9 g H4350 with the berger hybrid's seated at 0.010 off lands. Curious if anyone has any approximate load data with the new nosler rdf's.

Should I just back off my current load a touch and work up. My thoughts are that they will be pretty similiar other than playing with seating depth. Some data I've seen on the 140's say they are jumping them 0.030 - 0.060 but not much out there on the 105's.

Any suggestions?
 
I'm shooting the 105 out of my .243 as well. I'm getting sub half moa groups with 41.5 of IMR4451 running 2750fps and jumping .030 of the lands.

I started with the BC at .280, but settled with .297 as the actual BC after adjusting for ranges from 300 out to 1197 yards with consistent hits.

I'm still messing with it though as I just got in some Lapua brass and H4350. I'm also going to try loading them out to .050 and see how well they do, so far m liking them.
 
I bought 2000 of them to shoot in my 6mm Competition Match when I screw it on. I will run it for starters as if it were a 105 Berger Hybrid on QL. I understand they can be jumped. I will start at .010 of the lands. I'm not sure if this helps you, but if your Berger load is safe I would probably try it with the RDF.

I know this thread is old but will submit my two cents!
105gr NOSLER RDF, 41.9gr Hodgdon H4350, CCI BR2 primers, 2.738 C.O.A.L., .015 off the lans in a Ruger Precision Rifle, extremely light roll crimp. 3015 fps at 65 F, 23.27 humidity and an adjusted altitude of 7562 ft (Colorado). Brass was fire formed and neck sized only for my rifle, three five shot groups averaged 0.186" at 100 yds indoor range (Bluecore Shooting Center). Brass trim length was 1.915" To date this is the most accurate bullit and load I've tested in the RPR.
