28 nosler wringing out

[JMack]

Look at Nosler and Hodgdon websites. You should be able to interpolate. If not I'll help when I get done shooting.

Here is Hodgdon website loads for 160gr

Here's a start

For h4831sc, I would start 3-4gr under the h1000 values for the 160s. That's just me though. May liability be your guide

 

[JMack]

today was my first try with Bergers I picked up a box of 195 EOLs and just for giggles I threw together 6 loads, 3 with N570 and 3 with retumbo. Only one group out of the six was over 1" the rest were 1/2", 3/4" and one was 3/16" 3 shots at 100yards. This may have been a fluke the speed was a touch over 2800fps and the ES was 16. I'm obviously going to load some up to validate this but so far I'm pretty impressed

 

[JMack]

Question is, is 2800fps acceptable for that bullet I ran it through a ballistics program seems plenty to get me out to 800-900 yards for deer and antelope sized game

With a 195? That will work when it gets there

Yes 195 EOL

Did you ever try the faster powders?

Not yet. I'm kinda chicken too. Ha!

 

[JMack]

Two best from today
1/2" group was retumbo right at around 2900fps with an ES of 9 for 3 shots

smallest group was N570 at little over 2800fps with ES of 15 for 3 shots.

both were .020 off lands

I'm going to load some of each of these up and take them out to 300 see what it does

Anyone got any h1000 they want to trade? I have a pile of N570 and retumbo in same lot numbers

JMack, where are you located? I have quite a bit of H1000 and need to try N570, and i'm running short in Retumbo.
