Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms is the 28 Nosler cartridge compatible with?
The 28 Nosler is a proprietary cartridge developed by Nosler and chambered in rifles specifically built or rebarreled for this round. Nosler's own semi-custom Model 48 rifles are a popular choice, and several other manufacturers offer 28 Nosler chamberings. Always verify your rifle's chamber specifications with the manufacturer before use. This cartridge is not interchangeable with other 7mm or .284-caliber cartridges such as the 7mm Remington Magnum or 7mm PRC.
How does the 185 gr BTHP perform on big game at long range?
The 185-grain Boat Tail Hollow Point is designed with a high ballistic coefficient to resist wind drift and retain velocity at distance. Launched at 2,950 FPS, it carries over 2,800 ft-lbs of energy at 300 yards, making it highly effective on large game such as elk, mule deer, and bear out to 600 yards and beyond in the hands of a skilled shooter. The hollow point construction promotes reliable expansion across a broad range of impact velocities.
Is this brass reloadable, and how many times can it be reloaded?
Yes, Nosler uses premium, Boxer-primed brass cases that are fully reloadable. Nosler brass is widely regarded as some of the highest-quality component brass available, often requiring minimal or no prep right out of the box. With proper resizing, trimming, and annealing, experienced hand-loaders can typically reload Nosler brass four to six times before seeing signs of case fatigue, though this can vary depending on your load data and rifle's chamber dimensions.
