[QUOTE="Longtine88, post: 2587168, member: 116240"] Nev, you can do a ladder all day long and shoot little bit groups at 100 yards. I’ve seen them have single digit ES then at 600-800 yard vertical dispersion goes to crap and your actual node is in another area or another powder. You said it’s a hunting rifle and 99% of the guys on here are all hunting rifles some shoot more some shoot less. Your not gonna really know anything about your load until you shoot stretch it out and shoot in different circumstances. Because of the throat esrosion, and it’s a hunting rifle, I will buy 150 pieces of new brass just for the rifle. I then will shoot them and find a load for it with the first 40-100 pieces of brass. I then have 50 left to shoot for future hunts. When I get to the point they are all shot I then tweak the load to find the node again using the once shot brass. This serves me the best purpose for calibers such as the 28 nosler because the way I shoot the 28N it’s toast in 400 to 500 rounds and I screw on a new barrel. Love the caliber. Nosler brass is soft. I’m telling you once you find a load for it and you load them up once fired your gonna be surprised I’m afraid. You can find the velocity and powder nodes with new brass but always tweak them after using once fired brass. Once is all it will take with the 28N. Good luck 👍 I agree with BB on the hammers.
