28 nosler load developed

[Xpress-Kill]

Been doing a little tinkering with the new 28 I had built a few weeks ago. Shot a couple ladder tests with 180 bergers. Concluded that Retumbo was twice as stable as the h1000, not that the h1000 wasn't stable because it was... But the Retumbo was superb. So I then loaded 5 3 shot samples at different seating depths. Shot them all... This is the best one yet seated @ 2.707 Bto. Shot this group at 255 yards. Group totaled .437". I thank all of the guys on this board that have shared thier wealth of knowledge to help me accomplish this dream of mine. (Note: the picture posted is turned 90* left. I shot the the target up right.)
