Yes it will shoot the 195's.

Let me explain the reamer used and a little background as to why I use this reamer. When I built the first 28N most everyone was using a reamer with a .220" freebore or one somewhere in that area. Most keep their freebore specs a secret for whatever reason. This allowed the bullet to be seated out longer and allowed more powder capacity and the thinking was more velocity. The problem with these longer freebores was that they required a longer box magazine to be used. I found the Wyatt's 3.85" RUM magazine to work the best. But what was not taken into consideration was the throat erosion. The 28N is an overbore cartridge and the throat will wear even if you keep it polished. I have a couple of builds with the earlier reamers that are already at 1500 rounds and are still shooting great but the problem is that as the seating depth has been adjusted to account for the throat erosion and load tune and now the bullets are seated so far out they have less than ideal neck tension and they have to be shot as a single shot because they are too long for the magazine. Not a big deal with the single shot but something to keep in mind was the mindset with this setup.

I then called Dave Kiff at PTG and discussed this issue and we came up with a little different reamer. This reamer was decided upon because most of thee builds I was doing were customer Rem700''s and these required a little more thought into the reamer. Here is the comparison between the two reamers and as you will see are very close in performance.

Original reamer 3.75" OAL with bullet .005" off the lands 195 Berger 26" BBLs.
Retumbo 3000 fps
RL33 3050 fps
These were the accuracy nodes for this reamer from multiple rifles and pressures were a measured 64K+ but under the saami 65K limit.

New Reamer Specs
Berger bullet touching lands at 3.551" OAL This puts the boattail ogive junction at the bottom of the shoulder losing 2-3 grains case capacity but as you will see the accuracy node is only slightly lower in velocity compared to the original reamer. Actual burns rates vary a little from lot to lot so these capacity numbers can vary a little but the accuracy node has always been in the same place for both reamers. This reamer also makes it ideal for the 168-180 bullets.

Retumbo 2950 fps
RL33 3025 fps

FWIW, I know here on LRH the narrative is that RL33 is the best powder for the 28N but in the many 28N rifles I have developed loads for Retumbo has been the most accurate hands down. And as mentioned above these have been pressure tested loads.

Best LR hunting bullets ( actual field testing on game ) with the 28N.
Berger 180 VLD ( not the 195, it has not performed well at all but most are still using it )
Hornady 180 ELD-M
Nosler 175 LRAB ( best )

I was just surprised to read the 195 don't perform well on game... I've heard of great results from them from several people with several rifles...
I'm curious to hear more about that

Bump for ya too

If the 195's are prepped properly they work fine. Now what I mean by that is the tips need to have one of two things done to them. The easiest is to run a pin drill into the hollow point of all the bullets. This allows them to open consistently. If this is not done there are instances where the hollow point will pinch close on impact and will not open up and just pencil through the animal. I have never had this problem with the 180's but I have had this problem with the 195's and the 338 250 EH's. I trim and uniform the meplats and pin drill them before using them now.
