28 nosler 180 hybrid load help

[LongProng]

Bertram has 28 Nosler brass that should be better than either Nosler or Norma.

A few notes from the field:

Nosler brass is definitely soft. Hornady brass has been decent.

Thanks for the info. Thinking of ordering some Adg brass also

Is that a Grayboe Terrain stock? Or something else?

Im not pushing it very hard, getting 3140FPS with the 180Hybrid and 26nosler brass necked up to 28. Have fired brass 6 times and primer pockets are still holding. It groups fantastic in my rifle I'm getting consistent 1" groups at 300yards and very little vertical spread further out.

I've never been a fan of muzzle brakes, that is the only thing I would change.

Totally understand. I am not a huge fan of them either. But it does make the bigger calibers easier to shoot and spot hits. I also had them make me a seamless thread protector so I can take the brake off.
