[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1540095, member: 93895"] I can't add anything beneficial to the 28 nosler eld debate, but I can say that I have saw nothing cheat the wind like a 180 eld 7mm at 2950fps, so 3150+fps 180 has to be even better. I have yet to shoot 225eld or 230&215 Berger 30 cals but I'm working in it and they may be just as good. Lots of hate and discontent out there for 7mms, I blame most of it on a long history of poor bullet choice for purpose and/or quality bullet availability years ago. Heard lots of bogus stuff from gun writers over the years like: a 270 will do anything a 7mm rem mag will do. Really? I have a 270 myself no hate for it either but I wish it would shoot a 180gr @ 2950fps. That would be awesome if it could do it accuratly. Too much of what's posted & wrote about by gun writers is just opinion or what they heard from others. That's why salesmen at sporting goods stores think you can do the same thing with a 6.5 cm as you can a 300 win mag. I have both of them and it's comparing apples to oranges. Both great cartridges but should never be said in a blanket statement that one is as good as the other or one better than the other. Truth is that 264 Cal in anything was almost dead to most hunters for 40-50 years and now it's the best thing ever. 264 was good for something all the while, marketing hype & gun writers steered opinion one way or another. 7mm will die out sooner or later and make a comback at some point.
