New 28 nosler!

[Ltsheets]

Just picked up a Montana Rifle Co M1999 X2 in 28 Nosler. I'm not planning on reloading for it just yet as I have a lot of factory ammo that came with it but was curious what experiences everyone has had with them so far and with what loads/bullets? Eventually I'm hoping to build a 180gr VLD or 175gr ELD-X load for it once I have plenty of once fired brass. This rifle will be my primary rifle for my South Africa Safari in July.

The standard EX2 comes with a 9.5" twist. It's too slow for the heavy weight 7mm bullets. I know of 4 EX2 that they made with 8" twist ( I have 1) that a dealer out of Michigan had made special order. In general they are decent for the money. I can't complain about mine, shooting the Berger 195 sub MOA.
