[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 1248914, member: 59541"] I wanted to throw in my $0.02 about the 28 Nosler. I just received mine a month ago. I am able to push the 180 Bergers well over 3200fps but my rifle likes them around 3150. I'm sure I will be able to push the 195 Bergers over 3000fps easily. Before anyone jumps on my claims I will say that my rifle is built on a magnum action so I can seat the bullets out much farther than a commercially built rifle for maximum case efficiency. :D My barrel is 26" with a brake installed. I just started load development and have gotten 3/4 MOA so far. I will start playing with seating depths so I'm confident I can get it to under 1/2 MOA. This thing should be a hammer on any medium to large game that I will hunt. With the brake, the recoil is much less than my friends 300WSM without a brake. I honestly don't like shooting his rifle. I think you will be happy with the 28 Nosler. If your wallet can handle it, I wholeheartedly recommend going with a custom build vs a production rifle. I have been much happier since doing so.
