    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    I meant the right caliber. Looks like you've joined SH last week and have no less than 4 Nosler troll posts. You may not give a shit what anyone else shoots/thinks/does.. but you seem awful concerned with what other people think you shoot/think/do. Is is this your first time on a forum?

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    You sure you shot them in the right barrel(s)? There's a whole lot of professionals that disagree.

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    And I've known that for so long.. I don't know what got to me and made me think this was a large enough difference in weight to cause me to have issues.

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    You're right.. at the price I got them for I should just shoot them.

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    My rifle should be ready any day now.. so I'll probably at least give some of them a try. Every day my rifle isn't here will likely be another day I toy with the idea of offloading all the blems. Whats funny is that ive never been the reloader to sort bullets, or throw charges that are .02...

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    I think what shocked me more than my blems being acceptable was that they told me their "firsts" were only held to 0.6 tolerances. I'm really starting to convince myself to sell off all 1800 of these just to ease my OCD.

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    Just spoke to a supervisor at Nosler and he told me that those numbers are completely normal for factory seconds - which was my concern when I bought them - which is why I called them before I bought them, and they told me that seconds/blems were only that way because of minor cosmetic defects...

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    I don't know for sure, but my guess is that their tolerance specs and allowed variation is not due to the tolerance of scales, but rather the manufacturing process. I measure my precision rifle charges to the tenth of a grain. that's "good enough" for me - but not everyone. I don't think the...

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    I weighed another box this morning. I weighed each bullet on two different scales and got exactly the same number on every one of them. I know there can still be variation in the scales.. but this has me a little frustrated. If nothing else... it takes some confidence away on the performance of...

    Gunsmithing When the bore absolutely, positively has to be copper free...

    This is my exact cleaning method... fuck all that other work. Absofuckinlutely not.

    Were you are now what would you tell yourself as a beginner?

    Worry less and shoot more. Buy good gear from the get-go. $400 scopes fucking suck. Any time you buy something while thinking you can probably make it work.. you'll end up selling it in 3 months and that lesson will cost you 30% minimum.

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    That's primarily what I'm doing.. banging steel. Gonna start shooting the local practical rifle match once a month and it's 600yd max. I'll definitely let everyone know what I find.

    IMR 4451 vs H4350

    Well the good news is that your decision should get easier since it's likely that the 8 pounder of 4350 you saw has sold in the time it took you to post this thread ;) haha.

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    Well, I posted this thread out of a little bit of a panic. I was starting to worry pretty bad that I had 2k useless bullets.. but a quick data entry on JBM shows that there is essentially a maximum of 2" of difference at 1000 yards with all other things being equal. Maybe it's not as big of a...

    Nosler RDF weight consistency issues

    I followed the numerous threads on Scout about the RDF and they convinced me to give the RDF a shot.. a big shot. Now, first thing I'd like to point out is that I have the factory seconds, but I have a LOT of them. I decided to pick them up in .308 around the same time I sold my old .308 and...

    How many are anal about the measure of powder and what you shoot at/

    I like this philosophy. Maybe I'm the only one - but I load everything, including precision rifle, on my LNL AP. That includes throwing powder with the Hornady powder measure. It holds .1 grain consistency, and since I started annealing I have no issues keeping single digit SDs. I know the LNL...

    Budget rifle Magpul 700 stock and heavy Palma barrel

    I've never seen a proof barrel in a budget build - but as far as modifying the stock, you might not compromise its integrity, but you may have enough flex in the stock that it contacts the barrel when you have it on a rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Vortex Razor 27-6-x85 vs Meopta HD 80

    I got a Razor HD 85mm for WELL under $1440 about 3 weeks ago. It's minimum "advertised" price - not minimum price.
