[QUOTE="Bill28, post: 2040964, member: 112237"] I love my 28 Nosler. My first gun was the Browning X bolt 1:9 twist put about 400 rounds threw it with last 100 or so hand loads doing load development. When Browning came out with it in the Hells Canyon and 1:8 twist 26” fluted barrel I traded in for it. Shot 6 different Bullets and for 4 different powders . About 400 shots later I got 2 really good recipes. Nosler 175 Partitions really good out to about 500 yards and Berger 180 VLDs . Wasn’t sold yet on Berger’s for hunting yet, but they could shoot milk jugs out to 1250 yards was easy. Well another 450 rounds or so later and a Moose and 3 mule deer. The barrel was done, went from .75” to maybe 5”. So this summer I had Blackline Precision put a Krieger barrel on with one of there custom brakes (kicks like my 243 now) zeroed at 2 hundred and only had a couple bullets left from my original 180 Berger recipe and thought what the heck let’s try the 1000 yard dialed my old dope of 19 moa and let it fly shot high came down 1 moa and still high one more down dead center, let it cool down and put 3 more within 2 “ of each other. Had to find more H1000 and another 100 loaded got dope chart out to 1000 and went Elkhunting got a cow at 327 yards aimed center of neck and those 180 nearly be headed her. Next time at the range went right to 1000 3 shots less than 2” apart. The guy next to me asked what I was shooting. Asked if I had shot the 2000 hard target well of course I had to have a go. It was actually 1960 yards amazingly first shot hit. 36” target ended up hitting it 3 out of 6 try’s, the 3 misses where just off. The guy next to me with his 338 Lapua had 3 out of 10 hits.
