Guys I can't thank you enough for the info you have shared. I received the rifle yesterday and got the scope on it. Will be out this 4th of July weekend putting some lead down range. I will pass on the results of my shooting and load development. Have a great 4th and be safe.

.025 off on the 156s

Are you using Large Rifle or Magnum Primers?

I'd have to go back to my data and check I'm out of town until tomorrow night. I don't want to tell you the wrong one.

Sounds good. I have so many loads going now to try, some with Large Rifle and some with Magnum. The gunwerks load data is all with Magnum primers. Thanks and safe travels.

Awesome rifles I can't say enough good about them honestly. Mine is a 20" barrel and I'm running a gunwerks 6 suppressor wow is it sweet. Enjoy it!

I always have to tweak the gunwerks loads they are literally .1 different on my scale so I always load up 15 - 5 .1 low, 5 same, 5 .1 higher- never fails one of them will stack them

Yes I've used both large rifle and magnum primers on various loads.

Let us know how it all goes and I'll share some more information on my data when I get back.

Large rifle . Like Steve says more powder less pressure.

After buying my magnus 28 nosler I ended up selling all but one of my bolt guns I then bought 2 more gunwerks. Outstanding rifles and top notch customer service.

Have fun!

Doing testing on several short mags ie. 270 WSM, 300 WSM and the 6.5 PRC I have found the mag primers seem to give more variation in pressure and seem to over pressure sooner. That doesn't mean you will not find a great load with a mag primer. If you are planning on hunting in really cold weather, mag primers can give sure ignition. But, in general I have found great loads using CCI BR2s or Fed Prem 210s.
