[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1429252, member: 78438"] I just went through this and ended up with building a 7x300 win mag. I'd take the 7rm over the 28 for 800 yard elk. It has more than enough. The real difference at 800 yards, is 12-20 inches of drop, and 200-300 ft-lbs depending on how you set them up. The 28 will buck the wind a little better, in a 10 mph wind, the 28 will save you between 2 and 3 inches of drift. The 28 hits harder for sure, but the 7rm hits hard enough at 800 to kill anything on the continent. At 1000-1200 isn the 28 starts to makes more sense to me. All of that and I went and built a 7x300 win mag. Cost/brass availability/recoil/barrel life/one less round in the mag, are really the only cons I see with the 28. If none of that matters to you, the 28 will do everything else better. [/QUOTE]
