M48 Long Range in 28 Nosler
« on: August 04, 2017, 08:40:57 AM »
Well, I decided that it was time for me to buy the gun I felt like I deserve. So, I have a M48 LR on it's way. I'll be starting with the 175 ABLR factory ammunition and moving to hand loads as I have cases to work with.

Who has experience with this setup or a similar one? I see that the 7mm STW is pretty dang comparable to this 28 Nosler and I know a guy who just built one of those. It will be neat to see how they compare.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I run a 7 and 6.5 stw. The 28 nosler will serve you well I am sure.

I have the M48 Liberty in 28 Nosler.

I've had excellent luck with the following load:
80 gns of RL25
160 gn Accubond
3.340 OAL

I've shot several sub .5moa groups.  It's been fun getting the load development dialed in.
If you aint hunting, you aint livin'

Being able to shoot the berger 195 with a .814 coefficient is the only reason I would drop from a .30 cal to the 7mm/.28
