.28 Nosler with light bullets

[RichCoyle]

Does anyone know of loads in a .28 Nosler using bullets in the 120, 130, and 140 grain neighborhood?
What brand of bullets and which powders used? Also, what velocities?

Thanks.

Rich, I use this load in my 28 Nosler:

ADG Brass
Federal GM215M primers
143 grain Hammer Hunter bullets
78.2 grains of 4831SC
Velocity 3359 with low ES/SD.

Hodgdon and Nosler have online data for 120's and 140's.

Currently have mine loaded with Barnes145 lrx, 85 grains of retumbo @ 3475 fps. Last load was 140 gr TTSX and 86 gr of retumbo but don't remember the velocity. Both loads around 1/2 moa out of my Cooper model 52.

Check the CC capacity in water between the 28 Nosler and the 7 STW, good place to start with load data on the light bullets.

I suggest IMR 7828 with 125s with the 140s and R#22 with 120s with cci 250's, get ready for a shock, kiss the lands and find pressure to start. Get ready for a shock!

Lightest I have run in both of mine is a 162, both shot 3400 with RL33 and RL26 and both powders were very accurate. Loaded quite long, over 3.6". With RL26 you could make a 140 hit ludicrous speed.....

143g Hammer

on a 26", 3600 with 140s using 7828 with 215s should be real world....find pressure...your rifle can not read loading manuals. We have killed a flock of deer with the Nosler 140g C/T bullet, no failures...none.

I've used the 140 NBT a bit in my 7 Mashburn Super. I've used the 120 TTSX with R22 a bunch in my Mashburn! My normal load runs 3500, I can go to 3600 but primer pocket life gets a bit short. That darn 120 will give most any critter from elk on down the lights out darn fast! Great load.

I'm using 143 H.H in a 7RUM.
N-560 at 3400fps
I know its not a Nosler.
Might go to Hammers site.

I have run Barnes TSX 120's in both my 7STW & RUM. Velocities were impressive, yet not as high as I predicted.
I don't have a Nosler, but it would be similar to the STW.
I no longer have the RUM data, but you can find Nosler data on line.

Cheers.

155 absolutes at 3406 and retumbo

Nosler has data online.

WOW! Thanks, guys, for all the good information.

The STW is something I did not think of.
