What problems did you have with the 180s? I've been loading them in my 28 nosler and 280 ai and I've been looking for a 7-08 fieldcraft to shoot them with too. They shoot great from my 28 at 3200 fps over rl 33. I have yet to use them on game.

They are soft as hell on game. ? Do you have any carbon build up with RL33 in your 28 nosler. I tried the exact same thing you are and did not have good luck.


Mine shoots them extremely well for a little bit and then goes to hell until I clean it well with Boretech. I'm going to work on a different load as soon as I get feeling well enough to get back out. It has shot multiple sub .25" groups and then it goes to 1.5. I thought I was having scope issues and changed scopes to same thing. I would rather have a consistant 1/2" gun than than one that's inconsistent. Mine is just a Christensen ELR so I thought maybe the barrel just fouls easily but after what you said I'll try some different powder. Maybe retumbo.
