Looks awesome!! What bullets do you plan on shooting? RL33 and the 195 Berger are a hammer as well as H1000 and the 180s!

That looks great! I'm a fan of everything but that Calvin Elite. Keep us posted on how she shoots and kills.

Nice rifle man!

I snagged a Len Bachus Long Range Custom in the 28 at a great price & have it tuned in to the 195 EOL Berger. Yours has the right twist to shoot it too.

I currently have a ultralight 28 Nosler build of my own design underway. It's gonna be very sweet.

Sweet rifle, I am having a 28 Nosler built too, should be completed with in a week! Mine will be on a 700 action and a #4 Brux skip-flute barrel, 1-8 twist, McMillan Classic stock...wanting to shoot the Berger 195 grs!

Will be interested to see what loads you work up!

I have the Nosler M-48 , with a brake and 2.3lb. trigger, with Vortex 6x24x50 with a custom turret. I shoot the 175 Nosler ABLR'S, and i love this gun. Can't wait to try it out on Elk in Wyoming and Idaho this fall. Good luck to all..

Thanks shot a few times now trying to dial a load with the 195s , still fine tuning I have 8 pounds of retumbo so trying loads with that first might try some reloader 33 , I've hit a couple good accuracy nodes but looking for that 1 ragged hole type of group . There is almost zero load data I've looked all over so i will just keep playing with seating depth , haven't chronographed it yet so not not sure on speed but started seeing light extractor marks around 79 grains

Got some loads that are shooting great have a good node at 2980 fps and then another one around 3095 the latter had a light extractor mark but other than that no signs of pressure , had my 10 year old hitting steel today at 860 yards , was kind of suprised when I shot it at distance for the first shot after shooting groups at 100 yards went and dialed to 860 and was on the steel on the first shot , recoil is mild and overall I couldn't be happier

I'm definitely jealous. Love everything about the gun. You might try the newer Reloder 26. It's temperature stable and should add some fps without the pressure.
