28 nosler

[243AI]

I'm working up a load for my buddy's 28 nosler, I'm running the 195's. I am going off the Berger load data but their COAL is 3.499, and I'm seating them at 3.69, per his rifle builder. I'm at the max powder charge and haven't had any pressure signs. I've read online a lot and have seen guys running 4-5 grains more powder while running close to my COAL. My question is if I'm seating them longer than the load data, can I run more powder than it suggests? I know I have to watch for pressure signs, but I'm just wondering if that's kinda the norm?

thanks

Yes you can, and most here do.

Looking for some starting loads for N570 and retumbo and the Berger 195’s. COAL of 3.69. We’ve tried rl33 and Have a decent load worked up for it, but with how temp sensitive it is, we are looking for something different.

Thanks

If you don't mind me asking what chamber reamer was used for it? What's the freebore? I'm wanting to try a 28 Nosler shooting 195's myself...

That I don’t know, you would have to call Travis Stevens at TS Customs for that info. The rifle isn’t mine, I just reload for it.

I keep hearing 3.740 COAL @ .015 off the lands with a .280 freebore is working really well. 8.4/1 twist

Hopefully the link takes you to Ryan’s post. I think I’ve seen his freebore posted as being around .300”
