View thread Contact supportThe 285 ELD-M is an excellent performer. And it LOVES 92.5 of Retumbo. Can even go to 94 but I like a margin for error and high temps
Except he said that his rifle didn’t like the 285 bullet. Whether that’s from testing or some other opinion is what matters.Disagree. Berger's calculator gives SG 1.52 with the 285 bullet parameters, 12-twist, 2700 fps, altitude 4000 feet, temp 59 degrees.
If he's at sea level and it's cold, he may have marginal stability, but I've shot bullets with marginal stability and they performed fine. My 12 twist 375 barrel had basically this same SG for the 390 a-tip and it shot lights out.
So it may be worth a try.
Take a couple zeros off that altitude and that's right where I'm at.Disagree. Berger's calculator gives SG 1.52 with the 285 bullet parameters, 12-twist, 2700 fps, altitude 4000 feet, temp 59 degrees.

Yeah, I missed that sorryExcept he said that his rifle didn’t like the 285 bullet. Whether that’s from testing or some other opinion is what matters.
- Anneal
- Size
- Neck stuff
- Profit
To answer your question, yes. Anneal first, then size/deprime.Thank you. I have another question. Going to finally reveal my true novice status with this one, but isn’t it already sized after I deprime them? I’ve got both the Redding s type neck sizer and full length sizer - been using only the full length sizer lately. But it sizes them when I deprime right? I can run back through though.
Am I doing it the wrong way?Just for clarity, some of us deprime separately, often as the first step with fired brass before tumbling.
oh for fuck's sake....I’m no god like dogtown
Hahaha! I figured that you’d like that.oh for fuck's sake....
is the Berger better than Nosler 300?Anyone have a hookup on 300gr bergers? Mile High my usual go to is out of stock, everywhere I look seems to be out of stock too. I have a match coming up 6/1
I just got the Nosler 300 from Powder Valley. Did not look for Bergeris the Berger better than Nosler 300?
Bergers are in stock again it seems. I’m loading up, but I’m still going to shoot the noslers intilI just got the Nosler 300 from Powder Valley. Did not look for Berger
