30 nosler

[lh leggtowner]

In the process of putting together a 30 Nosler. Got everything but a reamer. I was wanting to run 215-230 hybrids. I was just wondering what kind of freebore everyone is running, before I come up with a reamer. Thanks in advance.

.225 will be about right for both

I’m running a 0.280 on mine to accommodate the 230 gr. Berger Hybrids and that puts the lower bearing surface of the bullet at the lower third of the neck.
I believe that I can run the 210’s without any trouble and reach “touch” on the rifling at the throat. - I know that the 208’s, 215’s and 220’s are also good to go.
I believe that I’m just shy on the 245 EOL and 250 A-Tips, the 230 A-Tip is above the neck / shoulder junction. (I didn’t plan to ever run 245’s or the 250’s as I’m running a 1-9” twist on one 30” BBL and a 1-10” on the other)

I recommend ADG brass or Peterson if you can find either of them. - I haven’t tried Peterson yet in this caliber but the ADG I have. -

i was trying to find some adg. I wasn’t sure about Peterson. Haven’t heard many reviews on their brass. Thanks a bunch.

+1 on the ADG
