28 nosler

[Thomas Putman]

i'm going to do my own reloading an decided to use the hornady 162 eld-x bullet. does anyone have an idea witch powder will be a good match . any help will be appreciated

 

[jimbires]

this is about where you want to be . if you have any of these , they would be worth a try . N570 , RL33 , retumbo , IMR8133 , magpro , IMR7828 , N560 , H1000

Ramshot Magnum, when you can get it, for that bullet weight class.

Also, watch velocities with the ELDX in 28 Nosler?! The 175 ELDX in my 28N vaporized, with the previous 1/9 twist 26" @3150+fps but, the 180ELDM's didn't, so they were a no go.

I switched to a 1/8 27" and just run 195 Berger EOL' now.

First, what cases are you using? It makes a big difference!

looks like this should be a good starting point
76.5 min 3039 FPS 26" bbl
80.5 max 3199 FPS 26" bbl

I would be looking for: H1000, IMR7977, RL26, Retumbo, IMR8133, N565, N570.

Nosler, Hornady, Peterson?

Of these, Nosler is the weak link and will not let the 28 Nosler perform to the maximum potential and be able to reload the case again, basically a one and done case at velocities over 3100fps. I know, a brand new unfired box of 25, done, in one range session, primers pockets expanded!

Got a hold of a couple hundred new Hornady and the only issue was that, they weren't annealed nearly enough from the factory. Easy fix, into the annealer they went, excellent performance and still reloadable.

Peterson, personal favorite, perfect brass for the 28 Nosler! The 100pcs I have, should last this new barrel' life cycle.

28 Nosler ain't a NRL/PRS caliber.

If you can find it, ADG (Atlas Development Group) brass for the 28 Nosler is superb. I was able to develop a very good load using that brass, and it is durable.
