- The Browning 'X-Bolt" Hell Canyon Speed in 28 Nosler is a 7mm Remington Magnum on Steroids! The rifle performed well and is accurate enough to take hunting shots out to 600 yards as tested.

Hey Ozzie what size mounts are on the rifle?

Met Mr and Mrs Ozzie today. Lovely couple, took time to say hello. Keep up the good work.
Great to meet you too mate, I had to get back out to the car as I had my new pup on board and we were worried he was going to chew something lol otherwise I would have stayed and chatted 👍
The functionality of the button on the bolt is so that you do not have to put the rifle in the "fire" position to unload a chambered round. Owned an xbolt hog stalker .308 since 2014. Very accurate and reliable.
I like the attention to detail with the deer on the nosler cases.
I have Nosler Mt Carbon in 28 Nosler using 175 grain Nosler Accubond long range. It's simply a stellar round. I had a 7mm RM but am glad I made the step up. The energy and balistics downrange are the reason for the 28 Nos and its been an absolute joy from the get-go. I agree with the Browning bolt knob. A friend has that rifle in 300 RUM and while its shooting sub .5" MOA at 100 I prefer both the knob and safety system on my Nosler rifle.
awesome stuff ozzie. Iv got the hells canyon Long Range Mcmillan in 300wm. Absolute beautiful rifle, glass bedded 1000 yard gun. perfect for long range
Great review mate. Man I thought a 7mm Dakota was a beast but this thing is just hell.
Great rifle and great music brother. 👍
You could pitch a tent with that barrel 😳
Nice rifle.
I think I would choose 28 Nosler and hand load all my ammo. I think the 28 has more potential for accuracy than the 300 W mag. Factory ammo is fine to see if your set up works but I like to fine tune the rifle and ammo. I like what Browning is doing.
That round packs a punch like a runaway train, doesn't it?
Great rifle too.
So does the cost of the brass lol
Cool rifle.! Here in the states you can pick one of those up for a about 1000 dollars. Keep us updated whenever you get some different ammo.
Googler i see how much guns and ammo cost in Australia and I’ve always wondered if the wages were higher are if guns were just priced extremely high.
I just paid $1449AU for the heavy barrel model today in 28 nosler.
scook2106 update us on how it shoots.!
@@scook2106 where did u buy it
i like the almost AC/DC intro
I have the identical setup and its nothing short of awesome
hows the recoil compared to a 12 guage 2 3/4 inch?
@@nernamez5946 hard to compare the 2 for me as it is 2 different shooting techniques. The recoiled is easily manageable with the stock muzzlebrake. It shoots like anything in the ultra mag category, there is definitely recoil but its more of a smooth push than a violent concussion.
Awesome
Great review bud, shame you want a bigger knob
The safety override lets you empty the chamber without taking the safety off. Less chance of a misfire during the process.
My next rifle...
May want to measure that group again Pretty leiniant with the way you used those calibers
You can shoot from vehicles when hunting in Australia? I noticed some issues with ejecting the empty case, are they hitting the scope windage turret? Had that issue with a 30 Nosler in same rifle with a leupold scope.
Lapua is jealous of the 28 nosler which is why they still don't make brass for it. Peterson brass is awesome.
Is it possible we get these rifles custom with iron sights?? Or do you have to bring it to the gunsmith and have em throw em on
Do you recommend this rifle for long range shooting?
Nice one. Did you shoot anymore groups off camera? 1 inch out of box isn't too bad really. Especially because that's a lot of power going through that pencil barrel. It could definitely tighten up with some hand loads and some break in.
No more groups, more just fun shooting at different distances 👍
U need the browning max long range target with a fat bastard brake for some 1000yd prarie frogs using 195gr bergerchinos while eating doritos , and grilling bortios .
S’funny the Aussies saying Sarko...rather than Sako. Nawsler for Nosler. Let’s see him take on Brawning, Tawka and Sawer.
not sure on Ozzies pronunciation of things - but different from other Aussies.
No I’ll continue to say Nosler the way I do because back in the early 90s when I first started reloading using Nosler ballistic tips they were pronounced the way I say it by everyone I knew. I notice people say both ways now but at the end of the day it is so insignificant to me just like Sako Sarko, some people just hold on a little too tight 😂
@@benbryce2788
Never heard Nosler pronounced the way he does.
Sounds like an STD🤣
What size rings did you use with the 44mm?
Good egg.
The 28 Nosler is a Remington 7mm RUM and yes it is a Fantastic Caliber . When I put my 7mm RUM next to a friend' s 300 win , the 7mm RUM is the Bigger Bullet easily and it was more accurate too .
28 Nos is not a 7mm RUM. The RUM is still hotter - the 28 Nos is a .284 bullet in the same jeffries case but the Nos uses a shorter and necked case and a 35 degree shoulder. Also I'm not quite sure what you mean by bigger bullet. Just wondering as the overal mass of the .30 cal bullets are bigger than all the .284 that said the .284 starts to out perform the 300 WM at distance.
@@Joel_Unbound , when I was target shooting with a friend who has a Savage in 300 Win. The 7mmRUM is just a little bigger when you stand them next to each other that is all I meant by that . BUT all they did to make a Nosler is shorten the bullet to a standard length bullet . But if there was no 7mm RUM you would have no 28 Nosler , they shortned a 7mmRUM bullet to make a 28 Nosler that is all I am saying , and it's true.
@@MrGuitars8 bullet or case, it’s the same exact bullet .284.
Hey mate I have one in 300wm and 308 but trying decide on rings it looks like you trimmed those loupold backcountry rings? would you still go with the again or go with DNZ rings?
Good pickup mate, The mounts are not the correct ones for the rifle and the front mount has actually been cut in an attempt to give clearance for the empty shell. I had one complete fail to eject only when shooting off the bench which was shown, however is it the rifles fault when the incorrect rings were on it? I can’t say for sure hence why I can’t confidently comment on that until the rifle has the correct rings. It was supplied like this
i owned one and didn't like the magazine that kept getting rounds stuck when cycling. also the bolt is not smooth. I didn't realise Nosler was pronounced Norsler! lol
Absolutely loved my 28 Nos, shame the WA cops banned the bloody thing...
What does WA stand for?
@@nmelkhunter1 Western Australia bud, the police deemed the cartridge too powerful for the public to have...
@@danmacdonald1291 Thank you, and that’s total horse shit.
@@nmelkhunter1 No trouble bud, the sad thing is I had one licensed, built another on a custom action and they decided to remove the cartridge from the allowable cartridge list. So, I neck it up to 30 cal and steam the 230gn Berger Hybrids at 2980fps ... Wasn't a total loss!
@@danmacdonald1291 It sounds like you got even! Take care.
Your rear scope ring is on backwards mate
How does this rifle stack up to the tikka tx3 stainless ??
Not even in same ball park imho....tikkas are great don't get me wrong but there just a knock off sako...they will shoot great and last ...just as far as fit ..finish ...and over all quality in craftsmanship and quality parts a browning wins every time...the old A bolts and x bolts are amazing guns...as a die hard browning guy I was very disappointed in the new Ab3...browning really cut corners and went cheap on that gun...it's a disgrace that people call that gun the Abolt 3 ..because it is nowhere close to the quality of the original Abolt and Abolt 2.
I own a Brn HCS 300wsm shoots dog shart 3-4 inch groups
I want the 7mm rem mag in the Browning X bolt 26 inch barrel i contacted my local ffl he hasnt gotten back to me tho i want the 7mm for 2 reasons easy to find bullets in my area of ALASKA and its proven to take down some of the biggest bulls in our area
Be sure to get the right twist you want. They sell two different twist rates in the x bolt in 7mm mag.
@@JAKDRZR what twist is better for between the 2?
Edward Abraham III it depends on the size of bullets you want to use. If your using 160gr plus go fast twist 1:8” but if your max bullet weight is 165gr go with the slower 1:9.5
@ Edward Abraham III
@@JAKDRZR i asked my local ffl dealer to get me the gun at 1 point told em i had the money at the time i just put it on my boat tho no worries i spent the money on something else
What height of rings are you using? Low or Medium
this gun and calibre is being dicontinued as it was in the orange on order
Is the empty case hitting the bottom of the scope and falling back into the chamber....

Awesome review as always but sorry Ozzie is Nosler not nawsla

I guess we're not going to talk about those ejection issues.
The brass is worth too much to lose in the bushes
I was thinking the same thing and was expecting some comment on the issue. I have 2 x bolts and the 300wsm had ejection issues with low scope mounts and large turrets. Needed higher rings to fix the issue. The 22-250 sends the brass out at a lesser angle. Very common problem with these and the sako 85's
@@charlesturner Ahh I see it's a built in brass catcher I didn't realize that it was a feature. 🤣

Did u buy or borrow this unit?
Borrow
Finally something to match that stupid gold ring thats on all Leupold scopes...
Knorzlah?
Hells canyon or weatherby vangaurd???
Always something new to sell. Constant reinvention of the wheel. If you want to be replacing barrels about every 500 rounds be sure and buy one of these.
500 rounds is a good few year for most hunters. Spending a couple of hundred dollars every 5 years or so to keep a ferrari on the road seems reasonable to me. Or you can go full regressionist and hark back to balls and black powder when barrels never wore out and you saved all that money on primers and cases...
Nawsla, or Nosler?...
😉
Haha, not sure where he is picking that R or W up from.

This would go well on a few rabbits 🥰
28 Nosler ammo nor brass is all that accessible even here in the states. This is the only thing keeping me from buying this caliber.
Same
Sure it is, buy nosler brass and a .284" bullet and you're good to go. I have a 30 nosler and everything is available
Might be worth considering 30 Nawsler, when you do end up reloading you have Pandora’s box of 30cal projectiles to confuse oneself with.
All good but where did you hear that pronounciation? It’s “Nozler”, not “Norsler” I believe.
Love your reviews mate but are we all really just gonna pretend like it cant barely eject those spent shells if at all?
Whose pretending? I showed exactly how it performed. The mounts are not the correct ones for the rifle and the front mount has actually been cut in an attempt to give clearance for the empty shell.

I have read they are junk for the price. Not bedded properly
In the reading you’ve done, did you happen to notice it’s a 28 Nosler, not 28 Nawsler or Norsler or even Nausler. Just Nosler.
No I’ll continue to say Nosler the way I do because back in the early 90s when I first started reloading using Nosler ballistic tips they were pronounced the way I say it by everyone I knew.

It’s a big case because it’s a 404 Jeffery necked down to 7mm. And there’s no A or W in Nosler, not sure why you’re pronouncing it “NAWSLER”
Rimfire Junkie nope, I’m Australian and I pronounce it correctly. We’re not a nation of multiple dialects.
He doesn’t pronounce his name AWZZIE reviews, maybe the gun shop employee pronounced it wrong and it stuck?

Who gives a shit about how he pronounces it, we all have different accents and all pronounce things differently
No its a 300 RUM necked down to .284…..
.
what an odd round.
Extraction is a joke.
