I don't get the Nosler love....
« on: December 29, 2018, 07:02:46 PM »
I see threads often....28 Nosler.....30 Nosler.....Yes I know they shoot and often shoot very well and yes performance is good and terminal performance on game is good but every thread has the same underlying theme.....you are pressed to find brass for what us clearly a reloaders caliber(s). I admit fully that I like the classics. 308. 270. 7mm rem mag. I also ageee that they are newer and have a cool factor. But....if components are that hard to find why the love?

I’ve had no issues finding brass for my 28.
With that said, there’s nothing wrong with a traditional caliber.

I'm with you, the Nosler rounds are overrated. Hornady's PRC line is obviously better....... :chuckle:

Don't know, just love my 28!  Two kills this year, shoots .70 moa with Norma 217 at 79 GRS.  Only powder I've tried so far.  I'm shooting 175 eld-x @ 3104

Simple answer.  Look at the BC on the 195 berger  :chuckle: components honestly aren't that hard to find.  It requires a bit of Google time but they pop up enough.  When you find it, buy enough for the life of the barrel then it's a non issue.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

The heavy 7mm bullets really happened at the right time for the 28 to take off.
The 28 is definitely something that works. Good length round but not too long with the heavies like the rum or stw.

I don’t personally think the 30 is anything too cool with the rum working so well and the 26 just seems like too big a case  :twocents:

I’m shooting 180 ELD-M in my 28 Nosler.  It’s a hammer.

For my light work, I’m gonna pick up a 6.5 PRC in the Ridgeline next month.  Seems like a pretty cool little round.  I really hope the factory ammo shoots as good as the reviews.  At $35 or under/box, it’ll be a nice option.

I just bought one myself. Mine loves them.  Have not run them over the chronograph but I'm guessing 2900fps or so super light recoil with either suppressor or the factory brake.

I find piles of 30 stuff all the time and have more then enough for a long long time. I built a custom in 30 nosler year and a half ago and love it.

How’s the 30 Nosler compared to the 300 PRC?
