[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1341055, member: 87243"] I think the only problem with the 28 nosler in factory rifles is the twist they put in it. The ones I have seen are 9.25 I believe....and most people that load for them will want to use a 180 grain or heavier bullet in them, because they have the ability to push them fast enough to take advantage of the enormous bc's. If they start making the factory rifles with an 8 twist, it's a winner. Another issue with the 28 is its barrel life, with 800 rounds being a typical barrel life. The 220 swift lost some popularity because of this same issue, and was transitioned to the popular 22-250. The 30 nosler, as you said, competes with the 300 win mag, which is a large challenge to overcome. However, having a shorter OAL with the same performance, will give it an edge in the long range handloading community. Though, this group of people may not be large enough to push it to commercial production. Just some of my speculation. [/QUOTE]
