[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 770615, member: 5219"] Another RL-33 test. Latest project is a 375 Ruger necked down to 7mm. Shoulder is NOT bumped back like the LRM. Neck is short but shoots fine. Reamer is a PT&G with .317 neck throat is .166" necks are turned to .013" for .0035" bullet release per side. Waiting on a 30" tube, I decided to rechamber a 7 Rem Mag barrel. This barrel is a rem takeoff shortened to 23 1/4" so the shank could be threaded for a Mark X. I know this short barrel won't optimize performance but I can get a feel for what the case likes and fireform all the brass. moly coated 180 Berger VLD with RL-33 81 gr 2950 fps 82 3005 83 3040 84 3077 most accurate 85 3120 86 3145 accuracy fell off I think I'll run the 84 gr load and have some fun shooting this short barreled 8 1/2 lb rifle at LR targets and a few jackrabbits. Will be using RL-33 with longer barrel and the newer 180 hybrids soon. [/QUOTE]
