It is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>28 Nosler is best described as a shorter version of the 7mm Ultra Mag but it&#8217;s basically a 7mm on steroids.

Heavy 7mm bullets with G1 B.C.&#8217;s in the 7&#8217;s going 3100 + fps make this one of the flattest shooting, wind buckinest calibers in existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-barrel\">Barrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"929\" height=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2357.jpeg\" alt=\"Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter in 28 Nosler\" class=\"wp-image-133279\" title=\"Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter in 28 Nosler\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2357.jpeg 929w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2357-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2357-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2357-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 929px) 100vw, 929px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at some specifics of the rifle; it is a long action with a barrel length of 26\u201d with the overall length being 46 \u00be\u201d.

Right now finding <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/ammo\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-browning-x-bolt-western-hunter-28-nosler\" title=\"Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter in 28 Nosler\">ammo<\/a> or components of any kind is kind of ridiculous. I used Nosler brass and, luckily, a buddy had dies and powder and so I was able to load up a few rounds of ammo and get the gun shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bore sighted took a couple shots at 100 yards and it dialed right into the orange. I then shot a three-shot group at 100 yards with a handload of&nbsp; 81 grains of Retumbo powder (bummed it off my buddy) and 180 grain Hornady ELD-M bullets which have a G1 b.c. of  0.796, which is incredible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2676-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter in 28 Nosler\" class=\"wp-image-133191\" title=\"Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter in 28 Nosler\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2676-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2676-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2676-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2676-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2676-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2676-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At about an inch spread and my first load; I can&#8217;t complain.

That is some serious energy and velocity carried downrange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also shot some 168 gr Nosler Accubonds that were factory loaded and they shot a similar groups of just under an inch. Velocity was 3217. I only had a limited amount of this ammo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m still working on the load I&#8217;ll use and will update this article when I get that dialed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to point out that the OAL of the magazine box is way longer than SAAMI spec and so loading the rounds long for less pressure and more velocity should be very doable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recoil\">Recoil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recoil was not as bad as I was expecting. In fact, it was downright mild. The soft rubber butt plate with Browning&#8217;s Inflex technology was very comfortable and the Browning radial brake worked pretty well. I actually hate radial brakes as they blast everything around them, kick up dust, snow, etc. I&#8217;d love to see Browning send this with a good side port muzzle brake instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trigger was really the only disappointing part of this rifle. I&#8217;m almost sure that with a lighter trigger we&#8217;d see groups shrink almost immediately. The good news is that Timney makes a drop in trigger for the X-Bolt and I just might try one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the rifle well enough that I&#8217;m buying it and using it as my personal hunting rifle this year. It&#8217;s honestly one the most economical ways to get into a 28 Nosler rifle, especially when you consider the features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MSRP $1179.99<\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.browning.com\/products\/firearms\/rifles\/x-bolt\/limited-availability\/x-bolt-western-hunter.html\" campaign=\"BrowningWesternHunter28Nosler\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Visit Browning for more information on the X-Bolt Western Hunter<\/a>\n<p>I used Nosler Brass for my handloads.
