[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1539188, member: 85874"] What were you expecting the 28 Nosler to be? I can tell you what mine does. It will launch a 175 Gr ELD-X at 3212 fps. It will put said load in .5 moa and will consistantly hit a 12" steel gong at 714 yds in the Montana wind. There is no magic cartridge and the 28 Nosler is no different. It uses a lot of powder to go fast and in a well built rifle is very accurate. Of the factory cartridges in .284 it is close to the top. The modern design makes it easy to load and tune in my opinion. Every time a new cartridge comes out this same debate seems to come out. People expect ti to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. The facts are that we have not broke free of the effects of or the laws of gravity and pressure. I don't think that Nosler designed the 28 Nosler to win the Ko2 they build it to be chambered in standard rifles for those who want top performance. Ko2 will almost always be won by purpose built rifles. [/QUOTE]
