[QUOTE="RogerPA, post: 1783737, member: 70741"] I have a 28 Nosler and for the first couple years used the 180 grain Berger hybrid @ 3125fps. (Primer: Federal 215M) Nothing walked away from it, but my experience taught me not to expect a pass through inside of 200 yards. Over 200 yards, with a behind the shoulder hit, I would regularly get an exit wound. This season I switched to the 177 gain Hammer Hunter. I’m shooting basically the same load of Retumbo that I was shooting with the Berger’s, with a velocity gain up to 3170fps, and groups in the 1/2 MOA range. 4 shots a big game animals, all past throughs, all DRT, and all with impressive (but reasonable) exit wounds. I’m sold and have been converting all my rifles to Hammers. Good Luck with whatever you decide! [/QUOTE]
