[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1339072, member: 2736"] Brass seems to be a big factor now days and it is about the same price for the three you ask about, so the choice has to depend on what you want/need. The 28 Nosler is a good round, the 7 STW is also a good round that has a large following (For a good reason) and has been around for a long time. there are plenty of components and loading data for it and it is very fast and flat with 140 grain bullets. The 7 RUM is a big cartridge that will send the bigger bullets very fast, but it uses more powder than the other two with only a 100 to 150 ft/sec advantage. So if you want speed, the 7 RUM (Or a wildcat based on it) will get it. If you want a proven round with lots of possibilities, The 7 STW would be a good choice for an all round 7 MM. and has a slight edge in velocity 50 to 100 ft/sec over the 28 Nosler, It is the new kid on the block and is not as proven as the others yet. There are wildcats that will out reach even the 7 RUM but they come with more issues and are not the best choice as far as I am concerned. I am all for "New" cartridges if they can fill a niche, many have subtle Improvements that improve efficiency, but in many cases they are Just another "Designer" cartridge and have nothing to offer over existing cartridges. Like others, I would recommend the 7 stw even though I have many other 7s including the 7 RUM. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
