Yep, Nosler reload guide states 63.0 gn as max with IMR4831. Your 62.5 gn load shows promise, try 62.3 and 62.7 gns. Also have you measured your max COL ? Ie where the ogive hits the lanz? The...

Yep, that must be putting the hurt on his brass and throat. With the very high BC there’s no need to send them any quicker than 2850-2900, or to over twist them. I run them in my 7 RM at 2840 in...
