The 24 Nosler is the ONLY Nosler cartridge that interests me in the least. Oddly, it appears to be designed specifically for use in the AR-15, yet the only reports I read about it are in bolt-action pistols and bolt-action rifles. It seems perfect in an AR; perfect in length for the magazine well and can use the same magazines as the 6.8 SPC and .224 Valkyrie, but it lets you use the common, cheap and strong standard bolt. I love the 6.5 Grendel as a cartridge, yet cringe when I look at the AR bolts designed for it. The rim of the bolt is cut WAY too thin, and half of each locking lug is out on that thin rim. I've never been a fan of rebated case heads, but compared to the alternative of weakening the AR bolt, I'll gladly take it! In any other gun I'd rather have the standard-style SPC case head. I guess the 24 Nosler would be more impressive if it magically had another 200 fps velocity, but it equals or exceeds 6.5 Grendel trajectories with less recoil, less powder consumption, a stronger bolt, and a better magazine situation. Plus equally great barrel life.
The 338 caliber cartridges, when necked either up or down from the parent case, seem to need to be shortened to fit either the magazine or the action. A 300 ultra mag case had to be shortened to develop the 338 ultra mag. To make it fit, the Remington action has to be altered. It would be nice if gun companies would make actions that could be used to make full use of a cartridge’s full potential. What would we have had if we could have used the 260 Remington Improved and use the bullet seated out like the 6.5 Creedmore. Same issue.
I'll stand by my 26. It's downfall is this; anything closer than 400yds, you don't get the expansion. All I hunt is rocky mountain big game. But I'll never get rid of my 26 Nosler. I've seen the 27, 28 and 30 Nos in action, and I've always harvested what was in my sights at far further than my contemporaries.
Had Nosler introduced the 33 Nosler differently, I think it would have been much better accepted. It should have been marketed as a modernized and optimized version of the 338 win mag for hunting; and best as a short barreled suppressor host. No belt for a wider column of powder for greater efficiency. The shorter case is actually a benefit, for greater head height. It thrives in a standard length action, whereas the 30 Nosler is crowded and why it's not catching on like the 300 PRC. With a bit more potential than the 338 win mag and expansion ratio similar to the 300 WSM, it's perfect as a short barreled suppressor host to still achieve win mag velocities and still reach much farther than most hunters should. I think it's the hunter's best 338 cartridge for the next century.
This is a great video. Nosler is world-renowned for the nosler partition which is well deserved. Who knows how many world records have been taken with it. Their rifles are nice and their cartridges are nice. I'm going to get dragged through the sewer for this, but anything Nosler can do, Weatherby can do better, with the history to back it up.
Appreciate your list and agree with the 28 being on top. Like you, the 27 would be my first choice though. I would rate them as follows 27, 28, 30, 33 and 26. If they ever come out with the 35 that would be my choice for a moose gun in open country. They have designed a 35 and 36 to cover their bases if they decide to release them so time will tell if that ever happens.
How is the wear rate with the over bore cartridges. Ive heard some people say that by the time they get done with load development, that they have significant throat erosion. Has anyone here had that experience?
28 Nosler with a 168 grain Nosler AccuBond LR pushed with 81 grains of Retumbo, is a screamin' eagle of a cartridge. Taking mine along with my 340 Wby to Wyoming and Colorado in October.
Absolutely love the 28 Nosler. Ballistic twin to the 7MMSTW with a modern design. I was in the market for one for quite some time and actually ended up trading a AR-10 in 6.5 Creed for a 7mm Wby Mag. I am going to give it a go. If I end up not getting the performance I want, it will get a 28” carbon fiber bbl in 28 Nosler spun on or a fast twist 7MM STW. If you compare similar weights, the 28 Nosler will out speed the 26 Nosler and the 6.5-300.
RW that was a good run down. I had no idea some of these cartridges existed. Myself I have no interest in Nosler cartridges, but I do enjoy learning about the new ones. Thanks.
I bought a 28 Nosler for a couple of my boys and they just love them other then having to reload because of not being able to get ammo right now. The 27 Nosler will be a great caliber but I don’t know if it will over shadow the 28 but that’s what happened with the 26 so you never know! Great calibers but you have to be ready to order another barrel if you buy one and shoot very much! John Nosler has done a lot for hunting have been using his bullets for 50 years or more and my dad used them before I did when reloading his pre64-308 and they were a game changer literally!
27 would be my choice. I see it as a potential do it all rifle for any NA big game/ hog, coyote at any range one might choose to hunt. Adapt bullet selection for the hunt good to go. As far as rating I think I would rank 28, 27, 30, could care less to rank any of the others.
I have a custom 270AI. I get 150s up to about 3200 or just shy of. I'm more comfortable shooting them at 3100. I get about 65gr of powder . The 27 nosler is insane. As 6.8 gets more popular it will benefit us all
Enjoyed the video. I think the 27 will be overrun by the 6.8 western. I am looking forward to seeing how the 7 prc does for the 28 nosler. I think it will shake it up a good bit.
I will never buy nosler ammo again. It wouldn't run in my 6.5 Creedmoor AR10. wouldn't run in my nephews precision bolt 6.5 either. Primers had really deep indentation but didn't go bang

Thanks for commenting
Im gonna build a 27 shooting 150 grain Cutting Edge Lazer for ELR and hunting having over 2,000 fps at 1,000 yards in Wyoming for me is a no brainer
Have fun with the 27 Nosler

Hornady now has 180gr 7mm bullets... 😁
Love the 28 NOZ❤🎉❤

You don't get bullet expansion 400 yards and in?
A buddy of mine has a .28 Nosler. He told me it burns out barrels astoundingly fast. Spooked me from ever buying one.
My dad just bought one, guess we will find out

The 24 was designed to be mild mannered pistol round for Noslers bolt action pistol. Agree with the list just adding dialog 👍🙏✌
Thanks for the clarification
I like your channel, thanks.
I agree with your rankings.... That 27 Nosler looks fun

Not going to disagree with you
Great video! I really enjoyed it! None of the Noslers jump out and make me want to own one, but if I was to pick one it would be the 28

Preferred Barrel blanks over in Utah has the reamer for 36 nosler for their prefit barrels
How is the wear rate with the over bore cartridges. Ive heard some people say that by the time they get done with load development, that they have significant throat erosion.
Has anyone here had that experience?
I've heard throat erosion starts as low as 400 rounds. But I have no personal experience.

28 Nosler with a 28 inch barrel would be awesome with velocity

Thanks for watching!

Great video, I however think the 6.5-300 weatherby is the flatest cartridge.
You are correct. I tried to say "one of" the flattest cartridges
@@ReloadingWeatherby I think you actually did say one of. It's all good. Awesome video bro.
28 Nosler is an impressive cartridge as are the 27 & 26. 28 seems to be the most popular by far. Thanks
Thanks for commenting John
I guess I had never heard of a 24 or a 20 Nosler.
27 would be my choice. I see it as a potential do it all rifle for any NA big game/ hog, coyote at any range one might choose to hunt. Adapt bullet selection for the hunt good to go.

26 nosler. New barrel after every 20rnds?
Haha... not that bad
Enjoyed the video. I think the 27 will be overrun by the 6.8 western. I am looking forward to seeing how the 7 prc does for the 28 nosler. I think it will shake it up a good bit.
May I ask you a question.does a muzzle break take away some of the velocity ?
I'm not sure.... I've heard that might be the case. It's something I need to experiment with.
I will never buy nosler ammo again. It wouldn't run in my 6.5 Creedmoor AR10. wouldn't run in my nephews precision bolt 6.5 either. Primers had really deep indentation but didn't go bang
That sucks
@@ReloadingWeatherby what sucks more is i emailed them pictures and videos and never heard back from them at all
I've never had issues with Nosler ammunition in any of my rifles.
@Rexford L good for you but they will not get my money again
For me the Nosler cartridges are way too much of a good thing if one hunts inside 300 yards.
26,28 or 30 it be hard chose just one but 28 probably the best. Isn't there a 27 though?
There is a 27.... and it might be my favorite
@@ReloadingWeatherby I'd definitely go with 27 then, love 270 win just barrel twist suck on factory barrels.been pondering buying a 280Ai today
@@brandonrenner9597 280AI would be a great choice
