Alex Wheeler recently did a re-barrel for me and i decided to switch from the 28 Nosler to the 30/28 Nosler. My main reason was the optimum powder for the cartridge. The 28 Nosler seems to run best under Reloder 33 or N570. Vhitavouri N570 is by far the best for the 28, but very hard to come by. I decided to take some minimal B.C. bit and roll with the Berger 215 and H1000. Specs are below.
Razor TI long action
McMillian game warden adjustable stock
Trigger Tech trigger
Proof 26" Carbon 1:9.4 26" long
I did a short barrel break in and started to run it up to see where pressure was. Managed to hit 87.6 and still didn't hit bolt lift of flat primers. 87.6 was just starting to get compressed, velocity was 3150. Alex mentioned that there should be an accuracy node around 3100. I started off with FED 215 primers and shot the ladder below. I then returned with CCI 250's and the spread went way down. All shots were from prone bipod and Labradar. The smaller group at the bottom was at 100. The center to center of the 3 shot group was right at .3 inches. I am very happy with the rifle and the switch to H1000 and 215 Bergers. Just thought i would throw this out there incase anyone else had the build in mind. Brass prep is using sinclair expander mandrel with dry neck lube and 28 Nosler brass just necked up..
