Re- barreling a 28 nosler ?

[Calvin45]

7prc, 7wsm, 7saum, 7 rem mag, 7 weatherby, 7mm practical (7-300 Winnie) 284 Winchester, 280 rem, 280 ai, 7mm Lrm (essentially a .300 prc necked down) are all less barrel burny than the 28 nos.

Don't know about the 284 or 280 for long long range elk, but they'll reach out there for sure.

You have the brass and dies the easy button is a 30-28 and shoot the 215's

300 prc.

I realize I was kinda missing something earlier…I read "rebarrrel" as "set back and rechamber" and hence my staying with 7mm cartridges.

If it's a whole new barrel on an 06 length action with a standard magnum bolt face well then I'm all in on the 30 cals of those dimensions! .300 win mag, 300 prc, 30 Nosler. No question.

For myself I'd go 300 win mag.

Hes probably got a Rum cut action so I'm not sure how it would feed with a win mag case with the wider feed lips

Ah. I didn't think of that.

Just another 28 Noz. It's special. Rebarrel when needed. Love 7mm. Stick with a big 7 and smile.

The photo is dial-up on second rotation of a 10 MOA per turn turret. Zero'd at 100, dialed up to 1000. 28 Nosler - FWIW, that is hard to compete with in a factory chambering.

30 nosler

Hemmed and hawed about this one a bit, on this web site since 05'. While there are degrees of barrel burners, there is definitely a link between 1000 yard elk = barrel burners. Kinda hard to full separate those two parameters.

I'd probably consider rebarreling my current hotrod 7 prc, it's gonna have hornady backing so someone is gonna keep if moving enough for long term adoption. It's a very reasonable compromise semi magnum.

I rebarrelled mine with a 30-28N and couldn't be happier. I'm running a hot load with N570 and pushing 230 OTM's at 3130fps. It's still a barrel burner, but not as bad as the 28. I got 700+ rounds out of the first barrel. And it shoots 3 1/2" groups at 1077 yards.

H1000 i will bet 900 rounds in a 30-28
Maybe 1000 if you take care of it

I lenhgthed the throat on a 7RM to shoot the 190s set up the way the factory PRC did it. Not nearly as fast, but in elk country it was good to 1000 yards according to the programs.

Easy barrel life
Always components

H1000 in the 28 Nosler changes the barrel life equation due to how cool it burns, so does N160 and 165.

I am sticking with the 7 Rem mag vs 7 prc, not much reason to change due to components on hand.
