[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1770672, member: 66917"] First question, you're only shooting to 700 yards at deer why bother with a monster cartridge like a 28 Nosler. There are a ton of cartridges that will do the job that burn a heck of a lot less powder. Anyway, I assume you're stuck on this cartridge, so to the bullet. You could throat to an in between length bullet like the Berger 180 Hybrid then you still will have lots of case space either going up in weight or down. So a 175 or a 195 will work I great case space wise. Frankly if I were going to have shots mostly less than 500 yards I'd choose a tough bullet like a Barnes TTSX or LRX, Nosler Accubond, Swift Scirocco (a little light). There are various small batch copper bullets like hammers that would work great as well. Unless most of your shots are 300- OMG, I'd stay away from cup and core bullets like Bergers and Hornady ELDx/Ms. These bullets will disappoint at close range a lot. I use Berger's on Coues deer but most of the shots are 300-700yards. On elk I use an Accubond or LRX depending on which rifle I'm using. Have fun with your big Boomer. [/QUOTE]
