Excellent!

@Cneelk , Garmin is the way to go...Easy Peasy!

7mm Dakota (Little less than a 28 Nos) with 180's @ 2886. Velocity is slower (Shorter Barrel) but the powder charge is close to a Nosler. Holland Brake again.

26 Nosler with 147's Holland brake

Hard to say, but a good solid bottomed brake should reduce 50-60%. Even that is a perception. A brake does a much better job than a suppressor. The more gas you have, the better the brake should work, as you have more gas to let the brake work.

Good thinking...

You may want to experiment with a mandrel to expand. Use a Wilson type seat die with a arbor press. Main thing is what it is doing on the target consistently

On deer sized game, I don't think it matters, even going up in size, the 165 being bonded will handle it, and the 180 BT should work as well...Shooter's Choice!

Thanks! I am spoiled, and I know it.

Not me. I would go with the 140 though, if it was me.

I use Salmon River myself, and I like light trigger and quality muzzle brakes. Borden clone Alpine XP-100 action, 25-284 (7.5T) Bartlein Carbon barrel, Dell trigger (Under a pound), Holland Radial baffle brake, and a shortened SRS rail.

The 28 will definitely have a shorter throat life than the other cartridges you mentioned, but everything has it positives and negatives. A shorter barrel life is not a problem on a hunting rifle in my opinion. How many rounds a year would you likely shoot it, once your initial load development...

I just thought 2920 fps was pretty quick for a 17" barrel

I have a complete custom 28 Nosler (Left-Hand Action-Not Nosler) with a 8.5T (Brux), and a muzzle brake, with a Manners stock that has never been fired yet. Think it has a Jewell trigger I won't be taking anyone's place...

Nice Rig! I like Triple Nickel, I just have not used it that much yet. Again, Welcome! I don't use the AR platform much, and I tend to use shorty barrels (single-shots the majority of the time).

Welcome @MSR_Gal ! If, you are a gal, it is great to have a lady in the group. Second, your preference for the 27's, and the Wildcat cartridges will be fun to read about. Are you running the 270 AR and 270 MSR in AR platforms or bolt rigs?

Nosler factory ammunition with 140 AB, 17” barrel has MV of 2920 FPS

@MO Whitetails, For a 18 inch 7mm Rem Mag Ackley Improved with 180's...I use H-1000 For a 18" 6.5-300 WSM with 130's and 140's...I use H-1000 Just giving examples.

Thanks. It is always fun to play on steel at distance.

Just shoot the same powders you would for a regular length barrel
