Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 33 Nosler QL Request

If someone can run the following QL simulation for powders, I would be greatly appreciative.

33 Nosler
225 TTSX
COAL 3.350"
22" barrel

I am having a hard time identifying good powders and starting charges. The lack of the best powders available is only making it tougher. In the general burn rate area, I have Accurate 4350, IMR4350, Hybrid 100V, Staball 6.5, IMR7828. I believe RL 17 and 26 will go well but I've only got a little 17 left and I haven't seen either of those for sale in almost 2 years.

Cartridge : .33 Nosler
Bullet : .338, 225, Barnes 'TTSX' S 30430
Useable Case Capaci: 80.847 grain H2O = 5.249 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 22.0 inch = 558.8 mm
Powder : Accurate 4350

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 0.113% of nominal charge.

Thanks so much Beretzs. You rock.

No problem.
