[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 2041224, member: 1403"] I'll still take my 7-300 win mag over a 28 Nosler anyday, belt and all...The 7-300 WM is the best all around LR 7mm in regards to barrel life, performance, recoil, cost, etc. It will flatten any elk with ease out to 1200 yards. I shoot the 180g ELDMs at 3050fps, burning 72.5g H1000, into 1/2 MOA groups at 1K in 20-25 mph eastern oregon winds laying prone w/bipod regularly...Beyond that, yes I would agree the big 338/300s have the advantage, but how many times are you actually going to shoot past 1000 on elk, unless you're specifically trying to do so? Not many is my guess. The 28 Nosler isnt a bad round, it's just something new to sell more rifles. I dont buy into new fads much...It literally offers nothing more than a 100fps over my 7-300 win mag. And I could care less if it has no belt. The 300 win mag case is plenty accurate (do the research), and the brass lasts plenty long if you know your way around a sizing die any.
