That is one sweet setup. This rig is going to be able to reach out and touch things WAY out there!

That 195 Berger must be very loooong bullet .
Are you only going to shoot the 195's or will you work up a load for the 180's as well?
I ask because I've read where a couple different, very experienced, shooters pressured out with the 195's before they could get enough FPS out of them to out perform the faster 180's. I know you read a lot of these different forums so you likely have already read about their results.

B23,
I appreciate your post.
I have 180 Hybrids on hand as well.
Plan to use the 195's for it's wind drift advantages at the further distances.
Further meaning out to 2K and possibly further.
Len has done enough of these to know where most will end up MV wise with the 195's with the 28 Nosler using a 26" barrel.
I must admit I have not compared the wind drift of a 3075 fps 195 versus what a 26" 28 Nosler will do with 180 Hybrid's.
If you have data of what a 26" barrel will do with the 180's on average, I would appreciate you sharing that.
I have been occupied with other things and have not looked into myself yet.

I'll try and find it and post the link. If I recall, neither shooter was using them in a 28 Nosler but if my memory is correct, anymore that's a 50/50 chance lol, they both reached pressure, with the 195's, before it could out perform the numbers of the 180's. Now, if that was out to 2K, I don't recall but I'll try and find that information.

Found it and there was actually some 28 Nosler info in there as well. Maybe it'll have some value to you, if not, no worries but here's the link. http://www.longrangeonly.com/forum/showthread.php?1907-Berger-7mm-195-Testing
