[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1642632, member: 64108"] First, what twist is your barrel ? That will dictate what bullets you can shoot, hopefully it's an 8 or 8.5 If you are shooting in CA it can get HOT here so you are going to want a heat stable powder so stay away from Reloder 26, 33, IMR 7828, etc. Go with N570, H1000, Retumbo, possibly H4350 if shooting a lighter bullet. Take a 169 grain Hammer Hunter and seat it to the longest mag length you can get by with then start with ~70 grains of H1000(I don't have a 28Nosler so I'm just estimating, others can chime in) and run a ladder test and find where you hit pressure, then back down a little from there. I'm not sure what your reloading experience is so I don't know how much detail to go into but the first thing I would do is talk to Steve at Hammer Bullets as I am sure he has load data for a 28 Nosler and will get you taken care of.
