The 190gr 300 Win Mag AccuBond Long Range has a similar velocity and amount of kinetic energy compared to the 200gr 300 Win Mag Terminal Ascent, but the 300 Win Mag AccuBond Long Range has about 6 less bullet drop at 800 yards. When the load capacity exceeds 100%, we call it compressed load. The table below compares the recoil produced by handloads that approximate the performance of the Nosler AccuBond Long Range loads above firing the 190gr and 175gr bullets for the 300 Win Mag and 28 Nosler respectively when fired from identical 7 pound rifles. The effective range or maximum range of a bullet depends on the shooter. It should be noted that most hunters will not shoot out a barrel for multiple seasons with either cartridge. Of the bullets evaluated previously, the 7mm 175 gr Accubond Long Range has the highest BC measured at 0.648 while the 160 gr Ballistic Tip bullet measured a respectable 0.531.

This whole comparison is a little different than most of my other cartridge comparisons because of the limited bullet offerings available for the 28 Nosler. There can be a pretty big practical difference in 28 Nosler vs 300 Win Mag barrel life. Recoil or kickback is the thrust the shooter feels when the bullet is shot. This will allow you 92% load capacity. The rifle weighs the same for both cartridges so the only other real difference I can see is ammo availability, though for the price of 28 Nosler it would definitely be worth reloading (though components can be hard to get too right now). In that vein, look at how quickly the 165gr 300 Win Mag load (which started off so fast) continues to lose steam due to its lower BC. Take a look! Interestingly, that particular 28 Nosler Terminal Ascent loading is the flattest shooting 28 Nosler factory load currently available.

Now, even the 28 Nosler doesnt have a ridiculous amount of recoil. So while comparing these two killers, well be considering the best performing amount of bullet grain into account. However, in this case, it still falls short when it comes to the range. The higher muzzle velocities of the 28 Nosler rounds aided them in having a flatter trajectory. A muzzle brake absorbs the recoil which doesnt charge any big toll on the shooter. Bertram = 100 gr. Still, if recoil is your concern, then you should go for the 300 win mag instead of the 28 Nosler or 30 Nosler. The 404 Jeffery sired the majority of Noslers cartridge line, namely the 30 Nosler, 26 Nosler, and 33 Nosler as well as other cartridges like the 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum (7mm RUM). Depending on the exact bullet were comparing, that gap will either grow (like with the high BC 175gr AccBond Long Range for the 28 Nosler compared to everything) or potentially shrink slightly (like the 200gr Terminal Ascent and 190gr AccBond Long Range compared to the 160gr Partition). When a new cartridge hits the market, shooters immediately start comparing it to long-standing cartridges with a proven track record. However, due to the cartridges very fat body (the case head is .550 inches, with very little body taper) an extra wide magazine is required. For serious target shooters, this can be a concern. Are you specifically hunting brown or grizzly bear? 300 WM: 210 gr ABLR will hit 1800 fps @ 825 yards with 1514 ft-lbs. The differences between the cartridges in terms of wind deflection are even more pronounced at longer range.

Those who want extremely tight groups for long range shooting are probably going to want to change their barrel out sooner than those with slightly lower standards. It works best with long heavy bullets. This made it a little more difficult to do an apples to apples comparison for both cartridges, but I think those 7 loads are a pretty good representation of the performance of the 28 Nosler and 300 Win Mag.

The recoil produced by this particular load is getting up there and is certainly stout, but its also not so excessive that its impossible to shoot. External ballistics dont tell the whole story though and theres more to picking a hunting cartridge than kinetic energy, bullet drop, or wind drift at various ranges. The 28 Nosler will have about 16% more recoil in the same weight rifle. That time period saw a flood of new centerfire rifle cartridges like the .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, .280 Remington, and .308 Winchester. Now you may ask, why are we talking only about H1000 powder? Ballistic Coefficient (BC) indicates the bullets ability to overcome air resistance in a flight.

Designers used those shortened cases so all three cartridges would fit in a standard length rifle action (same as the .30-06 and 270) instead of the longer magnum length action required by the original .375 H&H cartridge. Those who report short barrel life are typically high-volume competition shooters that are shooting near maximum charge handloads to achieve as much muzzle velocity as possible. This will help you take a look at the main features briefly.Feature28 Nosler300 Win MagMuzzle Velocity3125 fps3084 fpsSupersonic Range1750 yards1650 yardsDrop RateLessMoreTerminal EnergyMoreLessWindageLessMoreRecoil30 ft-lbs25 ft-lbsBarrel Life700-900 rounds1000-1500 rounds.

The 28 Nosler has more recoil, a flatter trajectory, more resistance to wind drift, and carries significantly more retained kinetic energy downrange than the 300 Win Mag. Now lets explore the world of these two popular cartridges! One of the most prominent differences between the two is that the 28 Nosler fires a bullet diameter of 7.2mm or 0.284" while the 300 Win Mag fires the more common 30-caliber or 0.308" diameter bullets. At really long range theres a real concern that some bullets wont impact at a high enough velocity for reliable expansion.

Nosler initially made a name for itself in the hunting community by developing revolutionary hunting bullets like the Nosler Partition, Nosler AccuBond, Nosler Expansion Tip (E-Tip), and Nosler Ballistic Tip.

Of the two, the 300 Win Mag is definitely the more popular and its usually among the top 10 most popular cartridges in the USA each year. Only the 175 gr Accubond had more kinetic energy at 800 yards with 1,597 ft-lbs.

Nosler Trophy Grade Long Range, 175-grain AccuBond Long Range at 3,125 fps Ballistic Coefficient: 0.648 500-yard velocity: 2,416 fps 500-yard energy: 2,267 ft/lbs 500-yard drop: 38 inches (based. Sectional density (SD) is a way to evaluate the penetration ability of a bullet based on its external dimensions, design, and weight. Since theyre descended from different cartridges (the 375 H&H belted magnum for the 300 Win Mag and the beltless 404 Jeffrey for the 28 Nosler), the 300 Winchester Magnum uses a belted case while the 28 Nosler has a beltless case.

First, the 300 Win Mag uses larger diameter bullets than the 28 Nosler. The 300 Win Mag load firing the 190gr AccuBond Long Range has the flattest trajectory of the 300 Win Mag loads, but still has 7.2 (22.5%) more bullet drop at 500 yards than the most arching 28 Nosler load. And of course, the 200gr Terminal Ascent Load for the 300 Win Mag has a higher BC of .608 than the .586 BC of the 155gr Terminal Ascent loading for the 28 Nosler. The differences between these cartridges become even more apparent at longer range, which is illustrated in the table below for those same loads at 600-800 yards. Both are great choices for long range shooting, but there are some important differences between them that you should be aware of before making a decision.The 30 Nosler is a newer cartridge that was designed to provide superior performance to the 300 Win Mag.

The bottom line is there is roughly 2% water capacity difference between the cartridges with the 300 Win Mag being the smallest and the Nosler being the largest. This is because those cartridges need a longer barrel to effectively and efficiently burn that larger powder charge. Say the bullets are more than 180 grains in 300 Win Mag.
