[QUOTE="7mmRHB, post: 2094419, member: 3584"] The 28 Nosler is a great high performance hunting cartridge. With a 1 in 8 twist Proof bbl, 28 inches long and a 195 elite hunter in front of 83 grs of H 50 BMG you get 3080 fps with a G1 BC of .810 at sea level. .840 at my elevation which is about 5000 ft. It retains 2199 fps and 2093 ft;lbs of energy at 1000 yds with time of flight 1.15 sec. and 1494 fps and 966 ft lbs with time of flight 2.8 sec. at 2000 yds. That is a beast coming from an 8 lb hunting rifle!! Now you are thinking that the correct BC is .755 and you are correct if you are shooting a 7 rem mag at 2600 fps but according to Brian Litz , when the 195 Berger is started out at 3000 fps or higher the BC is .810. If you dont want to shoot over everything use .810 it works. Light weight, light recoil, very long range hunting capable. The load I gave you is too hot for your primer pockets to live but 3020 fps will work. H 50 bmg is the ideal powder for great numbers and accuracy for the180 bullets and heavier.
