I am trying to decide between a 26" or 28" proof barrel when I rebarrel my 28 nosler and switch to a 30-28 Nosler. From the research I have done most people are hitting a node around 3050-3100 with 215 Berger-H1000 combo and 26" barrels. Has anyone been able to reach the next node via powder change and/or longer barrel? Im looking to stay with a 210+ bullet and have the ability to shoot the Berger 245 if and when it becomes available. I also am having a reamer made to target the 210+ bullets so any freebore suggestions are welcome.
 
My 30-28 does get the 3100 fps node with H1000 easily with a 26" barrel. I dont know if a 28" and N570 would even get you there to the next node.
As soon as I get mine back with the muzzle brake on it I'm gonna give N570 a shot and see what it does.
As far as freebore if your only gonna shoot the 210-215 then min. .200 to .225. I have .225 in mine. If you wanna shoot something heavier then I would go min. .225
