Nosler 28 Reloading

I have not tested it yet in anything although I have a bunch. Weather, to include the infamous Wy winds, will not allow me to do so.

I got big game for Maddie’s 7-08 and found it to be temp sensitive, but not to the extremes I’ve heard about some of these spherical powders, magnum and grand being two big ones.
 
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?

Ramshot Grand indicates right on the bottle that it is "Temperature Stable". I've been using it for a year now and have never noticed any temperature sensitivity. Grand burns slower than H1000 IME and burns about the same as RETUMBO.

You don't notice any swings in the hot temps compared to the cold? That's awesome! It certainly seems to have some interest amongst reloaders

I've had some pretty good luck with N570 in mine with a 180 VLD. I'm going to try and work up a load with the 175 ABLR here soon. Will start with Retumbo and N570.

Man! N570 is an awesome powder but it burns HOT!!!!!! It will eat up your throat quicker than just about anything out there. I did some research and this is what a lot of shooters are saying.

N568 is much milder on the throat, and maybe 50fps slower, this is from a builder/friend who also excels in F-Class.

Have you chronographed it in various temps?

Wouldn’t you know it , I getting ready to burn a bunch up this year.
 
Don’t build a 28nos and run it like a 7PRC!
There’s always a suitable compromise based on individual needs, but those big performers are awesome when turned loose.

You are not wrong, but it shot great with great speed. I figured even if I average 50 rounds a year, it should still last me maybe over 10 years. I don't use this gun as my everyday shooter on every hunt. On the years where I'm lucky enough to draw a tag that requires this rifle, it will see over 100 round a year. On other years, it may not see any.
 
Picked up some Nosler 175 ABLR and 150 Ballistic tips, l have 70 empty cases currently. Will try H1000 Retumbo & Grand with the 175, then something a bit faster for the 150, possibility Reloder 26


Just mounted up a 4.5-18x in those 30mm Talley lightweights will test it at 100 & 200 yards tomorrow with the factory 150E-tip load.

Report to follow
 
Got it on paper at 100 yards recoil is definitely a thing. Like the LRHS up on top even if it weighs in at 27 oz

Here are the last 2 shots, muzzle velocity was 3225 using the 150 E-Tip Factory Load

What rifle did you get and what does it have on it for a break? My 28 is in an X bolt with a Recoil Hawg break on it and the gun is a dream to shoot.

Mine is the Nosler Mountain Carbon, uses the model 48 action with a Proof Research carbon fiber 24" bbl

No brake yet, I'm shopping for one currently
