270gr RDF in 338LM

[JoeInTucson]

Hello
Can anybody let me know their experiences with the 270gr. RDF?
In 338 Lapua Magnum or similar hot 338 Magnum class cartridges?
Thanks!

didn’t know they had a 270 RDF in 338 but in general the RDF bullets aren’t bad.

Nosler doesn't list an RDF 270 grain .338 bullet on their website.

300g RDF's shoot well in my 338 LM. Never heard of a Nosler 270g RDF?

If you're looking for a similar bullet because of the lack of the 270 grain RFD, consider this Cutting Edge:

These shoot very consistent in my rifles chambered for the .338 Norma Mag.

Yes I meant 300 RDFs. I messed up and got a Hornady weight tied to a Nosler product.

That certainly has not been my experience with Nosler RDF bullets….
Terrible!!! 178 pieces out of 500 made weight with variance of up or down of .5gr to as much as 1.80gr, didn’t waste time checking base to ogive… they shot terrible in my 280AI and I realised why I had gotten such a bargain on them.
$ + 150pcs of Berger 180 Hybrids… I was really wishing I had kept the Bergers…!

Yea, they certainly don’t replace Berger’s.

A good 270 class cup/core bullet would be a good addition to the 338 world.

Why? What am I missing, I have always been pleased with the 300grain bullets. What advantage would a 270 grain bullet be. Just trying to understand, if I have been missing something all these years?
