Nosler 6mm/243 105 gr. RDF

[boisepaw]

What are your experiences with this bullet. When I first became familiar with it I bought a TON of them and now I'm trying to figure out exactly what place they have on my reloading bench. I do have two 6 Creedmoor rifles and a 243 and while the Creedmoors seem to like the bullet, I can't say that theyt love them compared to some others out there.

What works for you folks?

I like the rdfs. Both the 105 and the 115

Can you tell me more? What caliber, powder, distance? What kind of accuracy are you getting?

Ive used the 105 rdf to shoot out 2 6xc barrels now on top of h4350 and rl16. Ive taken them to 1500 yards once but mostly I shoot normal prs distances. If they werent accurate I wouldnt stick with them.

I use the 105s in my 243 with RL26. Been good out to 1500 also.

Had excellent results with the 105s, but didn't keep with them because i had a long throat rifle. Went to 115s.

My 1:7 6bra shot real well with them jammed .015”

Thanks for the thoughts...I had some good results in my 6 CM in terms of group size but wasn't getting very good SD and ES readings. I need to try them in my 243...

How far r u jumping these in the 6xc, if u don't mind me asking. just got mine put together ,getting ready to start loading

They shot me okay in my dasher over varget, bit slower then my hybrids with the same power charge and didn’t stack up as well. I have an other 100 I’m gonna try in my 6creed and see how that goes.

.020-035 from first touch seems to be their preferred.

Boisepaw High ES/SD shows inconsistencies in the handlowing process, which could from different OAL”s
different neck tension on the cases. Using different brands of brass(headstamps). Inconsistent in the amounts of powder that’s in each case.

This is gonna be a looooong learning curve....

Just take it one step at a time, getting those tight groups with low ES/SD is based on consistency.
Every round has to be exactly like the one before it.

Very Loooongg...
I'll try to shorten it just a bit.... Rookies should read more, comment less. Get a feel for the flavor and demeanor of the site.
THEN.... with a bit of experience.... wade into the shallow end .... slowly.

If you go to Panhandle Precision. com there’s lots of great information there, or check him (Sam) on YouTube

Too many flyers on testing. Why waste barrel life, powder, primers and time. Most of us bought them early on based upon high BC and cheap cost.
