28 Nosler Loading

[86bowhunter]

So I have a new 28 Nosler on the way. With the complete lack of Retunbo, IMR 8133, H1000 and N570 what would be an alternative powder folks are using?

 

[TheDeicide]

A lot of guys on here have loads using R33, but talk about having to clean often being that it's a dirty burning powder. If you do a quick search there was a relatively long thread I read which has a lot of information in it.

These are the ones I got the most information from today and yesterday.

28 Nosler best powder

Recently purchased a Fierce firearms 28 Nosler . I have 40 rounds down the barrel, did break in exactly as suggested by MFG. Now I'm looking to start load development. This gun will be used for hunting elk out to 800 yards. My goal is to get a good hunting round (168 - 175 grn) shooting 1/2...

You have to clean with r33 and N570. Seems the nature of the beast with the 28n.

My first choice would be 8133 if I could find it. Second would be retumbo.

So what powder do you have or can get?

I bought a bunch of h1000 for loading my 338 norma a while back so I have quite a bit of that. But I'm kinda holding that as a last resort. It's really not my first choice to load in a 28nos but if I have to I guess I will.

Pretty much a standard "nature of the beast", with magnum sevens, shoot-clean-clean-clean-shoot-clean-clean-clean-shott...etc.

Lots of guys like h1000 and 180 Bergers. They shot very well from mine. I had a ton of 195s is why I stuck with them

 

[86bowhunter]

I have a bunch of 180s and 195s... I'm really wanting to shoot the 195s

 

[Mram10us]

After you test the 180s, you might change your mind

In my 28 Nosler, I tried H1000, Retumbo, 8133 and RE33. The most accurate for me is RE33 and will give you the velocity needed for the 195gr Berger's, I could never find N570 in stock to try.

I tried this N570 ladder. I switched after this.
