I’m shooting 85gr of rl 33 out of a 28” 1:8 twist benchmark at 3110 velocity verified out to 1060 yards. I don’t have all the fancy equipment to find pressures and all that but the brass is holding up ok. I think after 4 reloads they might be done. This rifle took 7 animals this year anywear...

I'm sorry I took so long to reply. His name is Lyle Linkatud at Ultimate Accuracy. He has built some nice 280's 12044854151.

What kinda of Chronograph are you using? Or did you get your velocity from your drop data? I had a chronograph that was starting to read velocities 100fps higher. When I did some drop data I realized the velocities were actually the same as before it was just my chronograph. I'm sure you ruled...

I'm not sure we are on the same page. I zero my gun 1.5" high at 100 yards. That's where the bullet impacts. I put into my app that at 100 yards my zero height is 1.5" zero offset is 0. When I calculate those imputs the height above point of aim at 100 yards says 1.9". I shot out to 700yards and...

How come when I enter my zero for my bullet it's not what the ballistic chart calculates For my example I enter zero range 100yards zero height 1.5" when I go to my ballistic chart it says at 100 yards I'm 1.9" high. Am I missing something?

Harder brass. Nosler brass is soft

Would it be possible to make 28 brass from say a 7mm ultra using a 28 die and trimming to length and trim the neck thickness? Has anyone tried it?

The guys that are getting pressure signs after 3-5 reloads are you full length resizing? I assume you are. I am on my 3rd reload now with my 28 and I haven't seen them getting harder to extract or anything. I'm running 85.7gr rl33 195's velocity is 3120fps from a 27 1/4" barrel. I do have and...

I think you should get it lengthened. Most smiths would do it for nothing if they built it for you. Think your going to find pressure issues. But before you go and open the throats up why not try it and just start with say 82gr and work up slow see where you hit pressure. Maybe you'll be fine...

I got some testing in today and I think I got the load I want. Range conditions 48degree f 48% humidity 1800da 3-5mph @ 4 o'clock 85gr of rl 33 195 bergers Coal 3.745 (.015 off lands) Nosler brass CCI 250 primers Velocity 3123fps Range 640yrds Group size 1.07"

I didn't put them through the Wilson trimmer so I will do that. I also neck turned all the brass so neck wall thickness can't be out very much. I checked runout on the bullets in my Sinclair gauge and they are very good. And to wildrose I can't see the chamber being a issue as after fire forming...

Loading for the 28 nosler and with new brass and the 195's concentricity of the brass and loaded rounds were perfect i checked every one of them and were .002 .001. after i fire formed by brass bumped the shoulders back .002 and cleaned them and got ready to load some more. i checked my brass...

I was out this weekend with my new 28 nosler doing some load testing with the 195's. Temp was 34f 65% humidity 2000ft elevation DA 1400. I started at 83gr of rl 33 and worked up to 88. What I found was at 84.5gr I seen slight ejector marks and velocity was 3020. Keeping a close eye on case...

Widden competition dies

Having trouble finding the lands with 195 berger. so here is where I am at. I just got my new 28 nosler back from my gun smith who has built me rifles in the past that have shot amazing and I trust his work. I got him to throat this rifle for the 195's and I built a dummy round that he could...
