The 28 Nosler has earned its reputation as one of the flattest-shooting 7mm magnums on the market, and this Weatherby Select Plus load pairs the cartridge's impressive ballistics with one of hunting's most proven projectiles. The 180-grain Berger VLD hunting bullet brings match-grade accuracy combined with performance characteristics designed specifically for longer-range field conditions.
What sets the Berger VLD apart is its aerodynamic secant ogive nose profile and boat-tail design, which work together to reduce drag significantly. This translates to a flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and better velocity retention downrange compared to conventional hunting rounds. The design allows the bullet to penetrate 2 to 3 inches before rapid expansion, creating a massive wound cavity in the vitals. The hunting-grade jacket is engineered thinner than match variants, promoting expansion while maintaining the exceptional ballistic coefficient this bullet is known for.
Introduced in 2015, the 28 Nosler was built to deliver magnum-class velocity in a standard-length action, making it compatible with most modern hunting rifles without requiring a magnum bolt face. The cartridge achieves this through a large case capacity that drives heavy, high-ballistic-coefficient 7mm bullets at impressive speeds. This Weatherby Select Plus loading takes advantage of that velocity and energy, making it a natural fit for hunters working extended distances where trajectory management matters most.
Weatheby loads this ammunition with premium components selected for consistency. Each box contains 20 rounds of factory-sealed ammunition, and cases typically ship with 10 boxes per carton. The ammunition is ready to go right out of the box with no additional preparation needed before firing.
This load excels at extended ranges where the Berger VLD's aerodynamic design and high ballistic coefficient shine. The 28 Nosler has an effective range out to 800 to 1,000 yards depending on velocity and shooter skill, making it well-suited for serious long-range hunting scenarios. That said, the load performs across all practical hunting distances when placed correctly.
The 180-grain Berger VLD is built for medium to large North American game including elk, mule deer, and similar-sized animals. The bullet's penetration characteristics and rapid expansion are optimized for shots placed in the vitals. Shot placement and velocity at impact matter, with performance typically excellent between 2,000 and 2,800 fps impact velocity.
No, Weatherby Select Plus ammunition comes factory-loaded and ready to fire straight out of the box. The ammunition is factory-sealed to maintain consistency and quality control. Just load into your 28 Nosler chambered rifle and shoot.
Berger VLDs are designed with a thinner hunting jacket to promote rapid expansion and energy transfer to the vitals rather than penetration through and through. Bonded bullets like AccuBond stay together better for deeper penetration. The VLD excels at mid-range to longer-range shots where a flatter trajectory and minimal wind drift provide advantages in accuracy.
