[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1195406, member: 5219"] I'll bite. I just looked up Nosler's load data for the two. Using a 175gr bullet and their fastest load for each. I know that what others might get can vary but it is a control using the same data. 7 Rem mag: 2970 fps 28 Nosler: 3210 fps Recoil with a 9 lb rifle and above loads: 7 RM: 20.8 ft/lb 28 Nosler: 29.4 ft/lb ( recoil isn't that bad my 7.5 lb 338 RCM shooting 225 gr bullets is 32 ft/lb) ---------------------------------------- There is no question that the larger cartridge would be a much better choice for LR elk. I know which one I'd use for an 800 yd shot on an elk. I sure wouldn't use the 175 Nosler bullet but a 180 gr Berger hybrid and perhaps the newest addition to their 7mm lineup, the 195. you might want to read Len's thread: [url=http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/len-backus-elk-hunt-1.php]28 Nosler + Berger 195 = Great Elk Medicine[/url] [/QUOTE]
