[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1204778, member: 12995"] How is that? And don't say because it's beltless... In these modern times, the belt doesn't even factor into the equation, whether it is there, or not, as long as it is headspaced properly. They both have about the same capacity, are nearly ballistic twins, brass costs about the same, and can be found at an equal number of places, Nosler makes brass for both cartridges, and they both have a wide accuracy node. About the only notable advantage I can see to the .28 Nosler is that it is slightly shorter, allowing for deeper seating of long high-BC bullets within magazine length. I'm not saying any one is better than the other, I'm basically saying it's a toss-up...If you want a Nosler, build a Nosler...If you want an STW, build an STW. You'll be happy either way. I have been debating on rebarreling my 2nd STW (the one I have never shot) to a .28 Nosler, since I already have an STW with plenty of barrel life left in it, and the action that the 2nd STW is built off of, was originally a 7RUM...And its been blueprinted, so, no action mods are required, just a barrel swap.
