28 nosler powder recommendations

[AZjake]

I'm getting ready to reload the 195s for my 28 and trying to decide what powder to run. I know it seems like rl33 is somewhat the go to in 28s with 195s but the rifle will be used anywhere from -10 degrees to 110 degrees and I'm worried about it being temp sensitive. Mainly trying to decide between H1000 and Retumbo. Kind of seems like people favor the retumbo and I'm leaning that way. Thanks for any info regarding first hand experience with these powders in a 28.

loading the 180's I have found H1000 to be the best

Retumbo for 195's

Rl33 was king on accuracy and velocity in both mine. Retumbo was 2nd

IMR 7977, H1000, IMR 8133, Vihtavuori N570, RL-33 should all work well.

Not a 28 Nosler, but I am running N570 through my STW w/ the 195's. It proved to be the best across velocity, temp stability, and accuracy.

Wish I could find some N570 in stock to give it a try! Seems pretty hard to come by right now

I use reloader 33 in both of my 28 noslers, one with 195's and the other with 180 eldm's and get great speed and accuracy. I use retumbo in other rifles, I get good accuracy and temp stability from it.

I am running Retumbo in 3 different 28 Noslers with 195's. All 3 shoot 1/2 moa or better with velocity over 3000 in all of them. 26" barrels.
I run H1000 in my 300 win pushing 210's.

Retumbo and N570. N570 was close to 100 fps faster. I did notice accelerated throat erosion with the N570 though.

I'd really like to see what the new Enduron 8133 will do with this cartridge. I was able to snag 6 pounds of N570 locally. They haven't been able to get any more in since.

That was due to the added velocity, not necessarily the powder.

My local store has a big selection...But they don't have many of the staples, like Norma MRP, or any of the magnum Vihtavuori powders.
