Loaded up some 28 Nosler yesterday. Used 13 pc of my 1x fired Nosler Factory brass that all weighed 260 grains, used this load
Nosler 150 Ballistic tip
Reloder 26 @ 79.0 grains
Federal 215 mag primer
Expected muzzle velocity is 3200 fps, load is 3 full grains below maximum.
Will test them...

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

I'm currently running a 200 pc batch of Hornday, all of them are @ 1X fired. As my loads are always near book maximum they will only last 3 loadings or...
Thinking about a carbon rifle for next year, one quite like the Nosler 48 Mountain. Will be hunting Mule deer Elk & Antelope here in Montana, the possibilities for a long shot are definitely in the mix, for me that would max out at 700 to 800 yards. I have a reliable LRHS 4.5-18 ×44 that I'll...
