Nosler rdf

[Mhut]

Anyone used the 130 and 140 ? Preference on either

140 sucks, never tried 130. I think I have about ~2000 rounds of RDF's sitting in my reloading room as overpriced paper weights.

RDF's = random damn flier.

 

[Tunnuh]

I ordered some of the 130's to try out. We'll see how they do in the next week or so. I'll post an update.

I had good luck with the 140s . Was thinking about trying the 130s next. Unless you want to sell me the 140s you dont like

What powder do you use and OAL?

41 gr h4350 2.155 to ogive which is .015 out the lands on my rifle

I had the random flyer issue with the 140 also.

Anyone have any luck with the 105 rdf? For 6mm

Shot my best 600 yard score using 140 rdf's. 594 22x...Every barrel is different and your milage may vary. I can push the 140 rdf's fast enough to keep em supersonic to 1800 yards here at 5000' elevation. It's my go to for 1000+ shooting as well. If they don't work I'll take em ?

Been shooting them out of my Ruger precision with good results. Load is 42.2 grains H4350, seared at 2.790, velocity is 3040. Seem to group good. Right around .6 at 120.

Nah, they don't get close to Berger hybrids nor VLDs. I've got 1000 of them sitting at home, sorted one 500 count box and ended up with 7 different weight sorted batches - lowest batch coming in at 104.50gr and the heaviest at 105.20gr - Way too much variation for a "competition bullet" and I use that term jokingly. 0.7gr might be suitable for Nosler but I know it's not for any competitive shooter worth their salt. A 100 count box of Berger VLDs showed 0.1gr weight variation in comparison and I've never bothered weight sorting Bergers as a result.

 

[PinesAndProjectiles]

I bought 500 of the 105s for a 6 Creed barrel. Shot 80 of them and couldn't find a group less than MOA so I sold the rest.

 

[Doc68]

Thanks for the input gentlemen.

I just started testing the 105s in my dasher. I'm seating them pretty deep and the 3 pound xmark trigger really didnt help anything but all my groups from 1.836-1.901 using the hornady bullet comparator were right at a half inch. When I shot the 130s in my 6.5 creedmoor they also shot a half inch. I weight sorted mine because I bought blems and the weight variation was 104.6-105.2

 

[Iwillylike2shoot]

I was jut about to buy a load of RDFs on sale, the .330 G7 sounded pretty nice. Maybe I'll just try 100 instead of 500.

No.

I just did a load development with them. I'll tabulate my results tomorrow or Friday. The shot... OK.... Not as easily as my Norma 130's or the Hornady 147 ELDM's I was playing with on the same range trip.

You might get 200-300. When I first tried them I didnt know they liked to be seated pretty deep so it took me a out 120 or so to find my load. Probably didnt help my barrel was new and speeding up too. Knowing how they like to work now in 50 rounds of the 105s I found 4 seating depths that shoot right at a half inch and have decent sds

You might want to try those 105 rdf's - "random damn flyers" at distance before you buy a bunch. Worst bullets I've ever used, they shoot decent at 100Y and horrible by 981Y, in my rifle.

I'm going to this weekend. But I had pretty good luck with the 130s after weight sorting so I'm sure these will be the same

The 105 RDFs work well in my 243. They shoot to about 0.5 MOA out two at least 1000. I use RL26 and load them to 3160.

I tried them, and in every 5-shot group 3-4 bullets would be in one hole with the other 1-2 nearly an inch off using a Criterion 6BR pre-fit. My barrel was not a fan, but a small number of barrels seem to shoot them well enough.

I'm loading for a 6.5. I'll try 100. I think they talked about this on the precision rifle podcast, how some bad batches were sent out and nosler has since addressed the issue.
