Been playing around with the Nosler RDF 105's. Some guys are saying they can be finicky about jump but I tried a bunch of jumps with all sub moa results. Kept a few of the better ones and tried them on some steel at 342yds (my 1k was blocked by wheat) and the group below is the one I plan to stretch out farther. Can is all I had for refrence size.

Side note I'm also trying rl23 with great results as well. Only downside is it's very uneven in cut length and can stop up the funnel/drop tube.

Thanks. If memory serves me right these were a .030 jump. I started at .010 and progressed to .080 with all shooting well.

Next will be bc confirmation. Most say the box is close (.280 g7) or a touch low. They are factory pointed and far more consistent in measurements than Berger Hybrids.

Had much the same results with 105 RDF's in my .243, running RL26, and IMR 4451. They were very easy to work with.

Did a little more bc verification over the weekend. First up was 630yds and the only group pic I got. It's ironically slightly larger than the one at 1k but I had a 5:30 wind (across a draw/valley) that was varying from 10mph up to 15mph. Still not bad but I feel certain it would have been better. This steel usually doesn't get hit except from the 1k line so it's mild but I didn't expect divits exactly like this at 630. Any way bc seems spot on so far. Same can for size refrence.
