Help pic the bullet for my son's Elk Hunt.

Last week I killed a big Utah bull with my 28 Nosler. I was using the 177g Hammer Hunter and at 350 yards and he pancaked in his tracks.

Outstanding bull congrats

Good old fashion Nosler Partition in 160-175 will knock the crap out of any elk you can hit...bin' doing it for many many moons by a ton of hunters...TIME is the TEST !!

How are you getting 3030 with the 195 ? What powder and how much ? Barrel length ?

24" N570 82.1 Grains 0.005" off lands

Maybe look up Broz's opinion of the 195 EOL vs 180. He tested the 195 EOL in a 7mm-300WM so it's close comparison to the 28 Nosler.

Best I could get is 3008 with 80 Retumbo 26" proof

Might drop down to 180 to get them going faster. Good luck !

Oops correction. That was the original load on new brass. Since the barrel sped up quite a bit and I adjusted it again last week.

The load now is N570 80.5 Grains 0.005" OL. I had looked at the wrong log in log book. The barrel jumped about 100 fps and pressure was too high. Backed back down and found the node again.

Gorgeous bull!

Did you hit him high in the spine area or where did the bullet land?

The shot hit him in the base of the neck/spine and smashed all the way through. I found tip fragments in the spine but the core kept going.

I'm taking a 7 SAUM with 175 elite hunters to Wyoming next month, I'd vote for the 7mm….

Try N570 or RL-33

That'll light them up like a pin ball machine!
