Hornady Precision Hunter .28 Nosler ammunition (part no. 8069) loads a 162-grain ELD-X Polymer Tip for hunters heading out after deer-class game and similarly sized animals. Hornady builds its ammunition around match-grade bullets designed in-house, giving hunters and shooters factory-loaded consistency. The Heat Shield tip resists melting from friction at high velocity, so expansion starts on cue instead of blunting the nose before impact. Brass-cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this .28 Nosler loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
