Quick Load help with 28 Nosler

[Danny1788]

Here is my 28Nos I just chambered and put together. Rem 700 action, .250 recoil lug, bolt lugs lapped, Lawton bolt shroud and PTG firing pin, Trigger tuned to 2lbs, brux #4 fluted barrel 1-9" twist finished at 25.5" and a MBM lil beast 3 port brake. bedded into a Manners EH3 with mini chassis. Weight is 8.7lbs with bipod and a VX3 6.5-20x40 LR sitting in talley one piece rings





here is the first 18 shots through the barrel all shot at 300yards. first two used for sighting in. 26 Nosler brass necked up, RL33, CCI 250 and 180gr Hybrid .020" off lands.

groups go left to right top to bottom.
85gr, 86gr, 87gr
88gr, 89gr, 90gr




Best group was 88gr of RL33 ave 3080fps. Not bad barrel is still braking in.

Has anybody worked with 160 gr. loads in the 28 ?
I'm still trying to find powder that gives good results with a 160 TTSX or a 160 LRAB .
I have a good selection of slow powders except for Norma 217 which is apparently The powder.
Any tips or suggestions greatly appreciated...
