Any shooters who shoot the 28 Nosler.... Have you thought about wanting to try a subsonic in the 28 Nosler? If the barrel has a 1:8.5 twist or faster, I can get a 175 grain Hornady bullet stable and shooting as a subsonic round in the 28. Any interest? (Yes, there is a reason for the question. Yes, I know it's strange....) Just throwing out some ideas here. Maybe a reduce recoil round?

What would the energy look like down range?

Not sure about demand for sub round. Maybe the guy who only uses one gun might need a reduced load for deer / pig shooting that’s not burning 90 gr of powder and is easier on shoulder and barrel.
Seems the 28 Nosler is a 700-1000 round caliber with full power ammo so you could stretch that out and for hunting purposes that a lot of critters.
Personally I am not wired that way these days although back in the day I used to play with reduced loads all the time just for the fun of it.


"Anyone taking up handloading necessarily plays with unknown factors and takes chances. But so does anyone who drives a car,goes to a cocktail party,eats in a restaurant,or gets married."

I agree DStroud but how many guys that only have 1 rifle have the 28 Nosler. I doubt there is a market for what Chad is talking about.

Yes, but if you would have told me that 270 Winchester subs or 300 Win Mag subs would sell, I would have said no way. I load a lot of 270 Win subs, and is one of my top sellers.

The good thing about a 28 Nosler sub is these rifles generally have a faster twist barrel to shoot the heavier bullets. This would work well as a sub. But, the case capacity may be an issue also. I haven't tried these yet, but am thinking about it though.

I will say it shocks me that you sell 270 and 300 mag subs in any quantity. I would think anyone with a 28 nosler has the means for or already has much better options for subs, but apparently and not for the first or last time im wrong LOL.

Reduced loads are neat, I have found good uses for them while trying to accommodate beginner shooters and children.

Subs out of a 28 nosler? No no no no... That is like Dolly Parton without the knockers.
