Gun Descriptions

About In the year 1952, Winchester introduced the .308 Winchester Ammo based on the foundation of the late T65 series and the Winchester’s rifle were immediately chambered for the new cartridge. When it comes to short action and hunting big game, .308 Winchester Ammo has earned quite a strong reputation ever since its release. Hunters around the world know the .308 Winchester Ammo for its power and high accuracy. While the shot taken using a .308 Winchester Ammo will have an effective range up to 1,000 yards, but the best bet of hunting your game successfully is within the range of 300-500 yards. In this range and with this bullet, you can take down medium to big games with a single bullet. Manufacturer The Winchester family is the one responsible for manufacturing the .308 Winchester Ammo, the hunting gem that hunters around the world love shooting with and take down their game with a high success rate. Uses Whether it’s the season for deer or grizzly bears, the .308 Winchester Ammo will be the most suitable companion for your venture and will probably yield the most favorable results for your hunting session. Even though in North America, this cartridge is recommended to be used for whitetail deer, it’s common knowledge that this full-powered and accurate bullet can bring down medium to large sized dangerous game.

The .28 Nosler is a shortened version of the 7mm Remington Ultra Mag. They share a maximum body diameter of 0.550 inch. Rebating the rim to 0.534 inch simplifies the production of rifle bolts since the rims of Holland & Holland-style belted magnums, such as the 7mm Remington and .300 Winchester, are the same diameter. Whereas the 7mm RUM case measures 2.387 inches long from head to body-shoulder juncture, that dimension on the .28 Nosler case is 2.166 inches. The dimension at that point on the Nosler case is 0.002 inch larger and that reduces its body taper by just a tad. Maximum case lengths are 2.850 and 2.590 inches respectively. Shoulder angles are 30 degrees for the Remington cartridge and a slightly sharper 35 degrees for the Nosler. Due to its greater length, the Remington case is about 25 percent more capacious than the Nosler case. The .28 Nosler case can be formed by running 7mm RUM or .300 RUM cases through a .28 Nosler full-length resizing die with its expander/decap assembly removed and then trimming to the proper length. But despite the best of efforts, case loss will be high due to wrinkling. A case-forming die is available from Redding, and while I have not tried it, another Redding die on my shelf forms the 6.5 Remington Magnum and .350 Remington Magnum cases from the longer 7mm Remington Magnum case. Case loss is zero with it.
