[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1047871, member: 30902"] No I'm certainly not knocking it. The 280 AI gets within a 100fps of the 7mm Rem and the 28 adds another 100-150fps on top of that. The 28 would really start to shine I think in a rig with a 28-30" barrel just like the STW. With a 26" barrel though you just can't take full advantage of the large case capacity so the net gain in velocity isn't as great as it would be with the long barrel. To be clear, if I were choosing between the two it would be the 28 Nosler I'd take home because of all of the reasons outlined above. Give me a choice between two calibers using the same bullet, both capable of great accuracy and I'll take the faster and flatter of the two every time for a hunting rig. [/QUOTE]
