[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1211005, member: 12995"] Vested interest usually drives statistics...Same goes for business investors, and the politicians in DC looking to profiteer by swaying a vote. In other words, I'm not surprised at all. It wouldn't be smart or profitable for Nosler to do an honest apples-to-apples comparison, because they wouldn't sell as many rifles chambered for .28 Nosler, which means less sales for their proprietary brass and ammo, because people in the know would realize that their new cartridge is nothing more than a shorter, beltless STW when it comes to performance. And the people with STW's or want an STW would have no need to switch. Real world stats and tests have proven the STW and .28 Nosler to be virtually identical in all aspects when tested in equal environs. The 7RUM usually hangs around 25-75 fps more in real world tests. Hardly worth the extra powder consumption, and half the throat and barrel life, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
