Consistent 28 Nosler loads

[bluetick78]

I have a new 28 Nosler, it's a Seekins PH2. I bought my first 28 in 2020, but have only shot factory ammo in it so far. I'm in the beginning stages of reloading for the Seekins now. I have Berger 195 EOL and Hornady 175 ELD-X to go with Ramshot LRT powder. So far I've gotten decent accuracy with the 195's at around 2900 fps, but my SD's are 20-25 fps. The 175's are a bit more accurate so far at around 3100 fps, but same bad SD, 20-25 fps. It's not easy to find powder that works well in the 28, but I'd like to try some others in an attempt to lower my ES and SD. What loads have been your most consistent and accurate?

Reloader 33,,, hard to find but works great in my Son’s Seekins 28 nosler. He is using 190 Berger at some amazing velocity

What type of consistency is he getting as far as velocity variation and accuracy? I'll be using my rifle for long range steel (1000+ yds).

N570 has worked wonderfully in our 28 noslers

One gun shoots 195 Berger’s the other 177 hammers. Both shoot under 1/2 inch.

Retumbo worked best for me pushing 190 a tips at 3100 fps. ADG brass SD is consistently under 5 fps and es is always in single digits. N570 was faster but groups weren’t as consistent.

Let me ask my cousin what his loads are. He's got half a dozen 28Nos and they're all tack drivers. I know N570 is the powder, and he's shooting 195s out of one of his MOA rifles. I just sold a pound of N570, wish I had seen this a week ago or I would have brought it to you when I come over to IF for work.

I'm definitely interested in that load data, the 195s are really the bullets I'd like to use.

What powder charge and CBTO are you using?

What powder charge and CBTO are you using?

So I’m at 81.8g and COAL is 3.785 which is .030 off for me this barrel was reamed for the 190s and .125 freebore

Sent it to you in PM

He is averaging 3080 fps with sd of 12

Looks like I need RL33 and N570

Seekins PH1 in 28 Nos. Retumbo and 195’s right at 3000 fps. Sold the gun and don’t remember the exact powder charge. I’ll check my notes and see if I can find it. That load was very consistent though.

 

[Koozer]

Reloader 33 are pushing my 195 Bergers 3125fps. Great Accuracy! Think I'm at 85.6gr

 

[sportsmans challenge]

Not a seekins, but 28 nosler, 195 berger, 22" barrel right at 3000fps with 84 grains rl33, bertram brass, single digit es and great groups.

 

[chicoredneck]

I used 195s and retumbo in Bertram brass at 81 grains. The speed was just over 3k.

 

[DakotaBPNW]

I’m shooting 195’s with 80.5 grains of Retumbo and ADG brass. Right around 3kFPS
