28 Nosler Build

[SixFive]

Finished my 28 Nosler build today. Cut the chamber, threaded the shank and the muzzle break. Bead blasted the barrel and inletted the stock.

SPECS

Action: Savage 116 All Weather (300 Win Mag Donor)
Stock: Bell and Carlson full aluminum bed
Barrel: McGowen Stainless 1:8 Twist Sendero profile 27 Inches long
Scope: Meopta 5x30 Optika6

I did a trigger job, it is a glass rod breaking 2lbs. I made a slight modification to the original 300 WinMag magazine to feed the nosler round perfectly.

All and all I think it is a nice build.

I finally made it to the range today with the 28 Nosler. As a Deer hunter I am only testing hunting bullets, I tried 160gr Nosler Ballistic Tip, I also tried the 152gr Cutting Edge Maximus, neither of these were spectacular, all under 1MOA but meeh. I then moved to the Hornady 154gr SST, I tried Retumbo powder first and it did not like it. I moved to US869 and the group got tight! I ended up at 94gr of US869 for a 5 shot group (measured outside to outside) of .295 Not bad considering the bullet itself is .284.

SPECS -
Temp -- 68 Degrees
Range -- 100 Yards
AVG FPS -- 3352
BRASS -- ADG
Bullet -- SST 154gr
Powder -- US869 94gr
Primer -- REM 9 1/2 Magnum
COAL -- 3.340
LIGHT CRIMP with LEE DIE

I really wanted to get the BT bullets working, as I have time I will continue developing them, I am sure they will shoot once I get them figured out.
