I was talking about h1000 to revisit the seating depth. I'll still load up some of the r33 to see what it does.Sounds good but if I were you I'd nail down that powder charge first.

I agree your rifle apparently does not like H1000 with that bullet. I also agree you are very close with 84 rl33.View attachment 156846 Here is today's mess. Started with the 3 bottom groups in blue of r33 looking for a powder node. Try small increments either side of 84r33 next. It looks promising.
Top 2 groups in blue and 2 in white are .010, .020, .030 and .040 off the lands with h1000. Done with h1000 unless you see something I'm missing.
Again, 500yds and winds 5-7 mph from left to right. Not great conditions, but not horrible.
When you are that close I am not sure it matters. I think I would lean towards seating depth testing at 84. Once you find the most accurate tweak powder. It looks like you are pretty close.Copy. You guys think i should hit a seating depth test next or dial the 84gr in more?
Great day of testing. 3 shots with a charge of r33 with 195s

Then a quick ladder of sorts with 175eh

And finally a seating depth test that found a nice node at 3.705"

Next is load up some and take them out to 1200 this weekend
If it's a hunting rifle, I'd stay away from Reloder 33, way too temp sensitive from what I saw in my 28. You're better off giving up some speed and using a more stable powder.
I have a 30stw that loves r33 and 215s. Shot groups to 1000 in 80 degrees of variance(10-90f)thru the year. I didn't experience the temp stability issues. Keep reading it but I haven't experienced it. Only tested with this rifle though.How much is too much?? I´m going on an aoudad hunt 1 month from now and was planning on using my 28 with rl-33. Retumbo works well for me, but I can stretch the mv a little using RL-33. It is also a little more accurate.
