[QUOTE="DanMac, post: 1741944, member: 111762"] Hello Ladies and Gents, I'm a long time reader, first time forum member and contributor. I'd like to say thank you for the hours of reading I've done on these forums, I have gleaned quite a lot of info from these very pages. I'm in the process of finishing a new 30-28 Nosler long range play build. I have previously had with the 28 Nosler and thoroughly enjoyed feeding it the barrels, but I have now moved on to the 30 cal version and am looking for any experience with either the cartridge or the projectile listed above. I see reports of guys getting 3100fps with these projectiles from 26"+ 30cal mags and was hoping to see if there were any real world users who could offer some information or verification? I'm selecting this projectile for my target/long range shooting activities, not intending on taking animals with it, I will leave those duties to the 215/230 hybrids. I see the SMK has an impressive G1 BC of .715 and wondered if it were possible to get the kinds of velocities that may rival the 28 Nosler's external ballistics - Again, purely from a long range target shooting point of view or at least close the gap a little. I was very happy with the 183 SMK in the 28 Nosler and would like to explore options with the 30-28 Nosler to see if the V0 numbers could bring the performance gap a little closer. The only big 30 I've played with in recent times was a factory Blaser in 300 Norma with a 27" barrel, unfortunately I let the rifle go as it was becoming too expensive to purchase replacement barrels for. The rifle also had such a long freebore, anything but the 230 grain Hybrids would be free of support once the projectile left the case, limiting the projie selection too just a few long 30's. If there are any members with 30-28 Nosler experience, i'd be interested in hearing what sort of muzzle V0's you're seeing with particular powder/projectile combo's... Couple of pictures of the current build, based on a Bat HR, 3.850" mag and bottom metal and running Bartlein 5r 1:8.5 tubes.
