QL Request / Question on 28 Nosler conversion

[LifeAndLiberty]

A few months back I posted about a conversion project I wanted to try, converting a Savage 111 in 7mm Rem Mag to 28 Nosler. Well, the job is done and the rifle conversion is complete. Very happy with the 28 Nosler so far, but have only been shooting factory ammo. About to begin reloading.

My question is, Since it is a converted Savage the barrel length is only 24" as compared to the 26" Nosler rifles have and the reloading manuals typically assume. I know I will see a decrease in overall velocity, but I also imagine that might effect the total powder burnt and may impact which powders I experiment with, as slower burning powders may need that extra 2".

I'm experimenting with 160grain Accubonds ands 175grain Partitions. At my disposal I have Reloder 17, 22, 25, 26, 33. Where is the most logical starting point for me?

it looks like RL33 is where I'd start .

[jimbires]

the loads I posted above will be max loads . you should start 4.0 grains lower and start to work up your load while watching for pressure signs . hope this helps .

 

[SJB358]

Sounds like a cool set up. The 28 Nosler is a beast with 175's.

 

[truck driver]

I was just comparing the 7mm Rem cartridge dimensions to the 28 Nosler and it looks like a simple conversion of just running a reamer in the chamber to convert from one to the other. Might be something I would consider doing if I wanted more than the 7mm Rem can provide.
Having fixed the feed problems on my M70 7mm Rem I may not need to rechamber to get rid of the belt but it is still an interesting idea.

Thanks guys - I'm just getting around to checking this now. Reloder 33 was where I was leaning towards starting myself, and you guys confirmed it.

Truck Driver, yes I can only speak for the Savage but for my Savage Model 111, I rented a reamers and a set of Go/No-go gauges from 4D Reamer Rentals, gave to my local gunsmith along with a box of factory ammo and they took care of the rest. The only other thing he did was file down the front of the magazine box to allow for the fatter cartridges to chamber easier. It also reduced my magazine capacity to 2+1 in the chamber, but honestly if I need more than 3 rounds of a round this powerful, I don't deserve to take whatever I'm shooting at.

I'm going to have to see what shoots more accurately out of my Savage between the 160 Accubonds and 175 grain partitions. I'd love to load those 175s because from all reports they hit like a freight train.

178 LRAB would do the trick.
