[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1169742, member: 2736"] I have noticed and was disappointed with them when they started with the 280 AI. I have always been a fan of Nosler and wished they had handled there new cartridges differently instead of making everything proprietary where you have to buy there brass and ammo and don't have good load data. Normally the powder manufactures try to make there powder look best in any cartridge and the bullet makers do the same. The ammo makers are now doing the same thing, using proprietary powders that we cant get and velocities that are very hard to achieve, All of this is understandable but it makes coming up with a good load very hard) I try to avoid any proprietary cartridges if I can and go with tried and true cartridges. There will always be a faster and better cartridges that each of us have to wade through and decide on what we want/need. Brass will be a consideration in the future if we don't look for some alternative (Build something that you can use other cases to fire form or re size to what you have). you would be surprised how many cases that have been around for a long time and are not scarce that can be used for some popular cartridges. Both of your choices will have problems because of available ammo and brass. fortunately there are many other 7mm's to chose from that will perform with the 28 Nosler but few that will match the 7 RUM velocities except wildcats. Unfortunately it is not easy to pick a cartridge any more and a lot of thought must be put into choosing. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
