Im going to start my load development here soon but for some reason, i cant find any data on the 180gr Nosler Accubond being pushed by rl-25. I figured it would be a good place to start but i cant find Minimum and Maximum loads for it. Anyone have a newer Nosler book kicking around that could give me a hand? All the books that i have access to are older material.

The Fifth Edition (2002) doesn't have data for RL25. Max for RL22 is 87.0 grs.

You've probably already looked at the Alliant site. No data specific to the 180gr Nosler, but for the Speer, the max load for RL25 is 94.0 grs.

I'd work in the 90.0 gr to 94.0 gr range.

My own 300RUM rifles like 93gr and 95gr of R-25 with the 180gr accubond.Both rifles produce about 3340fps with these loads.

that seems a little hot. No pressure signs??

Nosler manual number 6 doesn't list RL 25 with the 180 either.
19 & 22 but no 25.

Thanks Skma! One more question for you actually. You grew up in Bella Coola, how long ago was that?
