28 Nosler

[Aking]

Recently got a good deal on 8lbs of RL 33
What are some good loads for a 28 with this powder? I currently have 175 Accubond Long Range bullets to use

I would not use RL 33 with a 175-180. It would be better suited for the 195s. What twist is your barrel?

9.5

I would stick with H1000.

I have a 28 Nosler, what I found to work good in my rifle, 1:8 twist, with RL33 using 195gr Berger is 84.3gr with a .020 jump, .529 groups at 200yds. With the 180gr Berger using Retumbo 80.7gr same jump .495 group at 200yds, in RL33 85.7gr same jump .525 group at 200yds. I have not fine tuned the RL33 in 180gr yet, I found what is most accurate, then it turned scorching hot in TX. I plan to do some more testing when it cools down plus I want to test using VV570 and try the 180gr ELDM. Have fun finding the load in your rifle, I do enjoy mine.

Thanks you so much for the info. I will definitely give some
Of those a try!

Retumbo with the 195s

Opening ups a little at 800 plus but still under 1 MOA. I
