Will trade for 195 Berger EOLs or local Annealing services

125 pieces of 1x fired Nosler brand brass. Bought these off of here but found some new ADG brass instead. I never reloaded them. I made a modified case out of one that’s included. There tumbled and decapped. $150. Flagstaff

Reloading for Long Range Question
mpriest replied to Cambow's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I’ve heard that’s why you want to find a node and try to load in the middle of it. That way if there are slight variations in powder charge, temps etc then your velocity will stay more or less consistent -
28 Nosler load data w/ H1000
mpriest replied to mpriest's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
IDK. It was a copy and paste email sent to all three. Figured I’d double check the info I got here. -
28 Nosler load data w/ H1000

Thanks for the info. Those powder charges match better than what Hodgdon sent me. -
28 Nosler load data w/ H1000
mpriest replied to mpriest's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Thanks. Hodgdon gave me a max load of 69.5 for the 180 VLDs. Seems low to me. Berger was at 77.1 for max. -
I’m starting load development for my 28 Nosler using H1000 powder. I plan to try 180gn Berger VLD, 195gn Berger EOL and 175gn Hornady ELD-X. I emailed Berger, Hornady and Hodgdon for their load data from them. Hornady told me to buy their book. The data that Hodgdon send me for min and max loads was 10gn lower than the data by Berger. Through some searching the min/max data by Berger seems more correct. Does anyone have load books for these bullet/ powder combos that they could message me or post. If it matters I’ll be using Federal 215 primers and ADG brass. TIA

Looking for gunsmith / Cerakote recommendations
mpriest replied to IDAZONA's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I used Owens Armory in Chino Valley for my last build. I’m sure some others will chime in if your from the Valley -

300 wsm load development
mpriest replied to BeardWonder62's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
After reading this I was curious about my bullets. I’ve been gathering reloading supplies where I can for a 28 Nosler build I have but haven’t been able to shoot yet. I can’t find primers. I bought 175 grain ELD-X and 180 grain VLD hunting to try. I measured from Ogive to the base of the bullet using 10 random bullets from the same boxes. I found the opposite with my ELD X bullets being more consistent. I wonder if the thickness of the jacket on the base of the bullet in my lot might be inconsistent. Guess I won’t know for sure until I actually load some rounds. Used Sinclair comparator with a Mitutoyo caliper. Heres my measurements for what it’s worth. I also measured my new brass out of curiosity. -
I agree. I went with a Defiance action for my 28 Nosler build as well.
