Description
Nosler Trophy Grade 28 Nosler ammunition steps up with a 160-grain AccuBond bullet and Nosler's premium brass, designed for hunters who demand reliability at distance. This load hits 3300 fps muzzle velocity and delivers 3883 foot-pounds of energy, giving you the flat trajectory and retained velocity needed to make clean shots on elk, moose, and other large game beyond typical hunting distances.
AccuBond Bullet Design
The 160-grain AccuBond features a tapered copper-alloy jacket bonded to a lead-alloy core, creating a bullet that flies true while resisting barrel fouling. The white polymer tip maintains its shape for better aerodynamics and smoother loading compared to traditional lead tips, while initiating controlled expansion upon impact. The boat-tail base acts as an expansion platform that produces large-diameter mushrooms with consistent performance across varying impact velocities.
Consistent Trophy Grade Manufacturing
Nosler loads every round to strict quality standards with hand-inspection during packaging. The brass is properly deburred and trimmed to ensure consistent feeding and chambering. This attention to detail matters when you're hunting—you get ammunition that performs the same shot after shot, box after box. The cartridge uses standard-length action sizing, so it cycles smoothly in most modern bolt rifles chambered in 28 Nosler.
Field-Proven Performance
The 28 Nosler cartridge itself was engineered for hunters who need serious velocity without excessive recoil compared to traditional magnums. This specific load pairs the proven AccuBond bullet with the cartridge's high-velocity platform, delivering the energy retention and penetration characteristics needed for elk and moose-sized game at extended ranges. The bonding process ensures 65-70% weight retention, giving you deep penetration with reliable expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition suitable for long-range hunting with the 28 Nosler?
Yes, this load is specifically designed for long-range applications. The 160-grain AccuBond at 3300 fps provides a flat trajectory and excellent energy retention downrange, making it effective for big game hunting at extended distances. The bonded construction and boat-tail design support consistent accuracy from near to far.
What game animals is this ammunition appropriate for?
This Trophy Grade load works well on elk, moose, and other large game animals. The 160-grain AccuBond's construction delivers the penetration and controlled expansion needed for reliable, ethical kills on heavy-bodied species. The high velocity helps ensure dependable performance even at extended ranges.
Can I reload the Nosler brass from these cartridges?
Yes. Nosler uses quality brass that's designed for reloading. The cases are deburred, trimmed, and manufactured to consistent specifications, making them suitable for handloading if you want to develop custom loads for your specific rifle.
How does the white polymer tip affect accuracy and performance?
The polymer tip improves ballistic coefficient for better long-range accuracy and resists deformation during recoil and handling. Upon impact, the tip acts as a wedge that initiates controlled expansion as the bullet penetrates, helping maximize wound channel while the bonded core retains 65-70% of bullet weight for deep penetration.
