28 Nosler Loading

[DRock]

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

H1000 is awesome in 28 Nosler. I'm shooting the 195Berger with 78g H1000 and getting sub MOA groups. Energy to kill an elk to 800 and well beyond. If you have H1000 put it to use and I think you'll be plenty happy.

I've got somebody that says they have an 8lb jug of retumbo.... I'll find out wednesday.

I've used h1000 for the 180s and it shot great, switched to retumbo with the 195s and now I'm on n570 with 195s which has given me the best results so far. This was data from the berger 195 with retumbo.

The guy I shoot with all the time is shooting a 28 Nosler and his load is 75.0 Grains of H-1000, 215M primers and 195 Berger's. shoots half MOA to 1000, verified last Friday morning with a 1000 yard range session. If you have the H-1000 I would use it.

Would you know his jump and velocity?

Would you know his jump and velocity?

He is running right at about 3020 fps with a 26" barrel. Not a speedy load by any means but it puts a hell of a whop on the steel at 1000 and makes a pretty good dimple in the 3/8" mild steel plate. He is running .010 off the lands

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?

I have had good success with US869 and also R33 using a WLRM primer

Ramshot LRT is showing promise for my rifle with 180 ELDM', hitting the 3200 FPS node, established with Retumbo, but no destroyed cases (switched from the soft Nosler to Hornady. With just delivered, waiting in the bullpen, Peterson) and zero pressure signs with tight primer pockets!
Tested 195 EOL' and the same goodness, with zero pressure signs, with 3025 FPS at the top charge. This powder is clean, with respect to being an Over-Bore Seven. Case powder fill is better than Retumbo. Gonna continue tomorrow, with higher charges of LRT & 195 EOL', to see where pressure is?!

ADG brass, cci, 143grHH, 87.5grNorma 217... .320 MOA. 3505 FPS. Work up to this! 88gr bolt stiff. Wish I could find some N570, I'm in Missoula MT

If you find some let me know. I'm just up in Polson and haven't been able to find anything from Missoula to Kalispell. Seems like all the "28 Nosler Powders" are missing. There's no RL33, Retumbo or N570 anywhere.

 

[Kmccord]

Yep, time to start looking at other powders that are readily available with the same burn rates.

My son is in Sturgis SD has found some N570 for me in Rapid City and my brother in Windsor CO. How well the N570 is shooting if you want 1# of RL 33 or Norma 217 let me know.
Looking for 1# of RL 23 now to try in my 300WM with the 174HH.

I was thinking of working a load up using is869 since I found some the other day and am running low on other powders any advice?

 

[jasonco]

At this point use what you can find that is appropriate!

 

[jasonco]

US 869 will work. it's probably going to be a bit dirtier though.
