tried nosler RDF bullets?

[6xcshooter]

Has anyone tried and had any luck with the Nosler RDF bullets?

I tried the 6.5/140s. They shoot well but the Sierra 142s shot better in my rifle. I found the claimed BC to be optimistic - likely the highest of the several phases of BC depending upon velocity for that bullet.
I would not hesitate to shoot them in a match - in a Mid-Range prone match they did very well at 600. Have not tried them at 1000.

I've shot the 6mm 105's out of a 6xc and a 6/250 sling/prone rifles to 1000 yards. Shot the 70g 223 out of AR's in XTC matches at 200 and 300 yards, and recently the 140g 6.5's out of a sporter with a 20" barrel at 600 yards. Have had VERY good luck with them all. About Half minute groups with all of them. They are not custom bench rest rifle bullets but for my purposes they work great. As long as they hold the X ring on the targets I shoot at (about 1 minute X ring targets) (and they easily do that) at 600 and 1000, I'm happy. I find the BC's to be very close according to where I need to adjust my sights after putting in the variables into a ballistics program.

I shot them out of my 6-284. They, (105) didn't do well at all. I already have a proven load for the rifle with Bergers...To be honest, I didn't waste any barrel on looking for a load. Not enough barrel life in this caliber to shoot at paper too much.

Shot them for PD's this year out to 500 yds they shot very well

I shot the 30 cal. 175grs out to 1000 yds. and shot well being pushed fast and they shot better than the sierra 175 out of my tube.. 308 with 45 grains of Varget behind them... You know the drill to work up to that load.. Remember to keep them in the center...Happy shooting

Tried the 105s in a 6BRAI. Not as promising as Berger Hybrids, but I'll have another look at seating depth in a few weeks when I can shoot again.

I just picked up a couple hundred 6mm.
I checked them out with a Hornady Comparator and darn if they aren't real close to a Berger Hybrid.
The base to ogive, Nosler .585 to Bergers .575, length 1.257 to 1.26.
I just can's see a .571 BC as reported, but we will find out testing this weekend at 3200 to 3300 fps in my 6 by 55 Swede.

I am using the 140 gr in my 6.5x47. Used my 900 yd elevation to back into my ballistic chart. Used the stated BC of 0.330 and my numbers were dead on out to 1100 yds. So far they shoot well for me.
