    Nosler 175 RDF.

    308pirateBurnOut is correct into calling stability into question ... just because a bullet isnt keyholing doesnt mean its at its ideal or even close to its miller stability factor. the bullet while not yawing significanly enough for you to claim its not keyholing may likely and very well be...

    Nosler RDF 175gr New Lot Issue?

    STI_1911_Guy you ever get it straightened out.. ? I have done a post elsewhere here on the board.. basically what I found with the blem 175s is that they are not just cosmetic but highly flawed.. I found that there are 2 different shapes of these bullets in the 3 lots that I have .. 1586, 1600...

    Nosler 175 RDF.

    SporterII let us know how that goes.. my ladder as it closed in on 44.9g of 4060 / lapua began to show tightening of the 'group' and velocities of 2760 with sd of 17 but that seems to me at least of getting a bit too warm a load.. granted they are loaded out to 2.88 COAL still with a .030 jump...

    Nosler 175 RDF.

    308pirate yeah.. shooting high master scores and claiming easy cleans with a howa 1500 and TAC I am going to put that into internet commando territory... not saying it cant be done because one in a million wouldnt be a phrase if it didnt happen every now and then...

    Nosler 175 RDF.

    SporterII I am going to load the remainder in some 3" shotshells.. they will probably group better out of my benelli ... perhaps send them back to nosler with a note to tell them where they can put their bullets....

    Nosler 175 RDF.

    308pirate yeah.. I am highly sceptical of a 195 using tac... and any load with tac is good for about a 15 to 20 degree atmosphiric varience because its not very temp stable.. well over 2 fps per degree in my usage for mk262 77 grain loads. and chamber temp from start of string to end is enough...

    Nosler 175 RDF.

    if it werent for nosler screwing my out of a couple hundred bucks for 2k of bullets that should have only been cosmetic blems.. I would buy a box of 100 that are not blems and measure them but at this piont its probably sionara nosler and never looking back far too many bullet makers that stand...

    also these are either very thin jacket or slightly undersized dia becasue they run 30-50 fps slower than smk for equal loads...

    .308 bullets 175-178- Berger, Hornady, Nosler. I want to hear your opinions.

    I found that the RDF 175s had horrible lot to lot issues and within lots even. I had one lot of blems from shooters pro shop where there were 2 distinctly different swaged bullets which had a tangent/secant curve that was .010 thou further up the bullet.. so seating them and touching lands they...

    Nosler 175 RDF.

    my experience with them has been horrid... however one caveat is that I am using blems.. now SPS shooters pro shop sells these with the expressed statement that its cosmetic only and it will not effect preformance.. well that is just a flat out lie and after contacting them, they have done...

    Gunsmithing My PTG after action report

    I came here to say thanks... plain and simple... the reason I have never posted is for this very reason.. most of the people on this and any other board are full of it, self absorbed, know-it-alls.. and when I see posts by respected shooters that have national and international...

    lash Boltfluter I came here to write a post to thank dave and asked specifically for foul mouthed individuals to keep off my post.... and everything I referenced about bolt fluter is publically available and I provided source links... so if its wrong take it up with the BATF and the other...

    Gunsmithing My PTG after action report

    dgheriani my intention was not.. is not to call people liars.. all I was trying to convey is that the man has bent over backwards for me and I am not even a customer. I called to ask a few questions and next thing I know is Dave wants the rifle to fix it up... my estimation is this.. and I...

    got paid nothing... went down just like I said... dont really care if you believe me or not.. and yes... I have never posted here before becasue I had nothing to say... but I have learned a lot here... Dave seems like he is doing me a solid and I thought I would say something since its rare...

    Gunsmithing My PTG after action report

    Man this is a tough crowd.. I honestly thought more people would have been more interested, inspired, excited by Dave'd generosity in reworking my rifle, built by someone else, for free, to fix it up and upgrade it.... perhaps the other 600+ views just didnt have the time or motivation to stop...

    JMGlasgow Thanks for your POSITIVE comment... that wasnt so bad right... ? Personally I dont know how that man can get anything done. My Uncle ran a small injected molded plastics business and I doubt that if he spent all day on the phone and online answering peoples questions ... he would...

    JMGlasgow if you had bothered to read the entire post... "Do things happen, mistakes get made, I would be surprised if they didn’t, if you think you are perfect go back up and read step 1, I assure you… you are not. But to say this man doesn’t care about customers is beyond absurd." I am not...
