I have the 28 Nosler too and it shoots very well, so far much better than the new APR .280 AI does. I've never shot a factory round but I have to shoot the minimum book load or it will leave prominent ejector marks and dimple the primer. The velocity is there and the accuracy is there so not sure whats different about the chamber from published data. Everything seems normal just have to load 3 to 4 grains back from max. I'm using Nosler 175 LRAB with Retumbo powder. Killed a 5x5 elk with it 2 weeks ago, punched straight thru, destroyed the heart and lungs. Dime sized exit hole. Their brakes work as well as any I have ever used.Last edited by XR650RRider; 10-30-2018, 09:39 PM.

One thing to consider before you buy a 28 is brass and ammo availability. At times it is impossible to get either one. Nosler has been the only one making brass and ammo in 28 Nosler and they have done a horrible job keeping up with the demand.. Hornady did just announce they will be selling there Precision Hunter ammo in 28 so maybe that will help. And maybe others will start offering ammo in there brands as well.
