There's an RDF thread going on in the bullets & ballistics section if you want to read a bunch more info.

I've had mixed results so far in my Dasher.

Was able to push the 105 RDF about 35-40fps faster than the Berger 105 Hybrid before getting a slightly draggy bolt lift. Groups at 300Y were on par with to slightly better than the 105 Hybrid. Have only had them out to 600Y so far, and at that distance results were mixed. While they shoot flatter than the 105 Hybrids they didn't group quite as well as the 105 Hybrids at 600Y. I'm still in the early stages of load development with the 105 RDF though, and over in the RDF thread in the bullets & ballistics section it looks like I might want to try jumping them farther than my current 0.010" to tighten the groups.

They're worth a try IMO. What will be interesting to see is how they do after say a year of production and the dies get some use and wear on them. Berger is usually pretty consistent, hopefully Nosler will stay on top of production consistency with these.
