[QUOTE="werth338, post: 1405596, member: 104514"] I 100% agree that there isn’t a magic bullet or cartridge. I was asking about what bullet, BC and velocity to get a baseline of what Is real and be able to dump it into a ballistic program. I have looked at reloading data and manufacturers Bc data and used that. Was trying to get additional information. Noted on the general vs specific question and typically prefer to be specific. At the end of the day, I am trying to see what was real world. The driving factor is trying to look at data to see if there is a reason to spend money on another gun and spend the money hunting. I feel I have the spectrum covered with a 6.5-300 or 338-378 in the safe right now as my primary hunting rifles. I didn’t want to bring in all kinds of bias if I hate/love Weatherby or the numerous other comments/bias I have seen when some subjects or brands are brought up. I am open to adding a caliber and maybe dropping one to add one. If I look at ballistics based on what I see from shooting my current rifles vs assumptions on the 28 Nosler, there isn’t a reason ballistically to justify the cash outlay. That is where I would like real world input vs making assumptions. There is obviously more than just ballistics that go into a decision but I am a person that want to evaluate all angles. I would assume that most of us had made a decision on a gun and shortly look back and ask why did I do that and with current costs that is frustrating. I wasn’t trying to make this into anything adversarial. I was looking for input from a group that has experience that I don’t and would like to learn. If I worded the post/thread poorly, it wasn’t intentional. I was on a conference call and multi-tasking was a failure this time. My boss wouldn’t be amused to know I was writing a thread about a 28 Nosler during his call. [/QUOTE]
