Frequently Asked Questions
Browning 28 Nosler Ammo for Sale

Does browning make a 28 Nosler?

Yes, Browning makes the X-Bolt bolt-action rifle in 28 Nosler with a 26-inch barrel, typically priced around $1,691. Browning also produces 28 Nosler ammunition through its Silver Series line, including a 175 grain Soft-Point load at 3100 fps.

What is a 28 Nosler equal to?

The 28 Nosler is roughly equivalent to the 7mm Remington Magnum and the 7mm PRC, pushing 175-grain bullets past 3,000 fps. It fits in a standard long-action rifle while delivering performance approaching the larger 7mm RUM.

How far does a 28 Nosler drop at 1000 yards?

Using a 168-grain Berger at around 3,125 fps with a 300-yard zero, expect roughly 180–200 inches of drop at 1000 yards, requiring approximately 18–19 MOA of elevation adjustment. Exact figures vary with muzzle velocity, bullet BC, altitude, and atmospheric conditions.

Is 28 nosler too much for deer?

No. 28 Nosler works fine for deer with proper bullet selection and shot placement. Hunters report clean kills on mule deer and whitetails using 195-grain bullets. It is overkill for deer but not harmful. Avoid shots under 50 yards where meat damage increases; it shines at 200–400 yards.

What are the pros and cons of the 28 Nosler?

Pros: Flat trajectory, excellent wind resistance, effective on elk and large game, manageable recoil with a muzzle brake. Cons: Expensive factory ammunition, accelerated barrel wear, significant recoil without mitigation. Best suited for long-range hunters willing to handload or pay for premium factory ammunition.

What is the barrel life of a 28 nosler?

The 28 Nosler's barrel life is typically 300–600 rounds before throat erosion noticeably degrades accuracy. Its large powder capacity and high velocity accelerate wear. Competitive shooters or those frequently shooting at distance should budget for regular barrel replacement.

Who makes rifles in 28 Nosler?

Browning, Christensen Arms, Montana Rifle Company, Gunwerks, and Weatherby manufacture rifles in 28 Nosler. Weatherby offers multiple Mark V variants including the Apex, Live Wild, Backcountry 2.0, and Accumark. Prices typically run around $1,691, ranging from $70–$2,680 across 39 variants.

How hard does a 28 nosler kick?

A 28 Nosler generates about 28 ft-lbs of recoil energy in a typical hunting rifle, noticeably more than a 7mm Rem. Mag. It's stout but manageable for most experienced shooters. A muzzle brake reduces felt recoil significantly. Heavier rifles also help absorb the kick.
