Opinions on Noslers cartridge family

How much do you think the barrel life of a 28 would be extended by nitriding it?

Only on way to find out, some have had good luck with the 26 so it may be something to look at.

I have a couple 28 Noslers, I have more invested in brass for them than I had in my first 2 hunting rifles!

I think the 33 may have a place as a heavy hitting close to mid range, when you want to knock something out of it's hooves in the timber, may fit in some action better than a 340 WBY, I could see building a wood stocked Winny with a #4 on it for timber crashing!!
The feed back from the 30 Nosler has been excellent, the one I dialed in for a customer showed some serious goodness!!

I like the 338 rum best really for a mag fed 338. I have a reamer set up with a short throat for 250s to feed in a wyatts. Problem is you cant find brass. The fast RL powders are great for speed, but I like to stay with H1000 for guns.

ADG is making 338 RUM brass, selling it on gunbroker.
I just got some 6.5 creed brass from them it looks pretty good

They will offer whats requested most. 28 and 30 Nosler cases made by Lapua would be awesome.

They never offered any RUM or Edge brass.

Nope. Nowhere to be found/Back order/delayed. The 2017, 28 Nosler brass famine is here!

https://ammoseek.com/reloading/brass/26nosler says Norma and Nosler in stock in several sites.

https://ammoseek.com/reloading/brass/28nosler none available.

All my brass is 26 Nosler from early runs. All my xx-Nosler are 26/28 dimensions so no brass shortage for 27,30,33 or anything else I want. In a pinch I can use any RUM brass.

Nope, the BC is very similar between the 2 bullets and the 30 has a 200 fps advantage. Both of those bullets work very well on elk. Personally Im sticking with the 30. I have an edge and prefer the way the 215 works on elk vs the 300 hybrid. A 215 at 3100 is going to be hard to beat.

Alex, what powder are you using to reach 3100fps with a 215gr bullet in a 30 Nosler? I have a 28 Nosler and use RL33 to reach 3050fps with the 195gr bullet, I had tried H1000 in the beginning and could only get it to 2900fps.

H1000, 83-85 grains. My reamer is set up for 215s.

"Timber Crashing" I like that one

I'd be surprised by a 28 going over 1000 rounds just like any other 7mm in it's class

Partly correct. Coat the bullets and I should get over 1200.
