“Favorite loads” is just a scary term to me. My rifle is different than yours and should be treated as such.
But in the spirit of your post-I love my 28. It shoots factory 175 ablr ammo extremely well and I have equaled that by using us869 powder and reusing the fired nosler brass, fed 215m primers. You can find your own seating depth. Good luck!

I also just got a 28 nosler about a month ago. I haven’t started load development yet, but we will see where it takes us. Mine is a BrowningX Bolt.

Not a max load but did great against a nice pronghorn buck at 701 yards!

Maybe some velocity figures?

3150 fps-I don’t remember but I believe that was a 10 shot average. Good enough for an antelope this year as well but mine was trying to gore the truck so much
more like self defense than long range
I stepped away from eld-x as I felt like they were too frangible and have been much happier with the slightly heavier and bonded ablr bullets. My groups not quite as good as yours.
I am possibly going to rebuild my 7stw to a 28 nosler as well. I’m intrigued by the 30 nosler as well so will see where the money and options take me this year-

Get some H1000....
that seems very mild for that bullet in a 28n?
i plan on getting a mrad and do a 4 nosler cartridge builds. 1 mrad with 4 barrels
26
27
28
30
might swap the 26 for a 33? before i do so i'll have to buy some mags to find out what max cartridge lengths could be. what i want too do is buy maybe 4 mrad's and set them up for this way.
4 short mags
6.5prc, 6.8w, 7saum, 300wsm
4 belted cartridges
264wm, 7rm, 300wm, 338wm
4 or 3
300nm, 338nm, 338lm, and haven't decided on or if there'll be a 4th
the short mags will have a 24" barrel, 26" for the belted cartridges, 28" for the nosler's & 30" for the nm/lm's. i might step up and add 2' to each (26, 28, 30, 32). since barrett has a mrad-elr (36" 416b and 375enabler) it could be on a purchase list for me? each of the cartridges listed will have their own load with bullet weight just for it and twist. i might use the berger 195eol and 197smk in the 28n so a 7.5t it could be?

Mild sure , accurate absolutely. Most important part deadly.

Got that & Retumbo as well. Think the new Ramshot Grand might be worth a try as well.

Good luck! Hope it’s a ringer for you.

Grand is working out pretty nicely for many cartridges. It is in the h1000 reloader 26 and a retumbo burn rate region.

I've heard (never tested this) it's very temperamental to ambient temp swings. You essentially have to load it in the same conditions you plan to shoot. Is it really that bad though?
