[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 1048475, member: 51650"] A long time ago in a land far, far away... I am just reading this thread and am surprised that this has boiled down to an efficiency argument again. In P.O. Ackley's writings he performed an experiment to settle a similar argument raging in the late 40's about case and shoulder shapes providing ballistic advantages. Boiled down to simplicity more powder = more velocity and case/shoulder shape does not provide a [I][B]VELOCITY[/B][/I] advantage. But he did determine that the [B][I]UNIFORMITY[/I][/B] of the ballistics improved the closer the case shape resembled a golf ball. Shoulder shape had no effect including the PMVF (Powell - Miller Venturi Freebore) hotrod of the time. Weatherby based his line of cartridges on their designs. So I guess my point is that the 28 Nosler is going to fall into the velocity charts based on the powder capacity. Need? Good question. Standard length round in a fat short case has an appeal. In a Remington Magnum length action the bullets can be seated way out there. But more velocity with less powder at the same pressure? Not in this quadrant of the Galaxy. The case is based on the original parent case the 375 Ruger. Nobody claims that cartridge matches the 375 RUM or 378 Weatherby. So I guess I see the 28 Nolser as a standard length action 7mm STW. They are peas in a pod. But there is no "magic pixy dust" in it. KB [/QUOTE]
