[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1211047, member: 2736"] +1 I have never owned a 28 Nosler mainly because there is no advantage over the STW. Everyone talks about the belt being bad (It is not) If you want to shoot a beltless case, all you have to do is fire the belted case one time, and as long as you don't full length size and bump the shoulder you will be using the shoulder to head space on. Also, usable powder space/volume (Not the neck) for the STW is around 91 grains (Don't know what the 28 Nosler actually is but the velocities for the STW are way better than Nosler says. Most good STWs are capable of 3300+ ft/sec using a 168 grain bullet. The 7 RUM gets bad press because it is considered to over bored (To much powder capacity) in fact, any 7 mm with a capacity of over 70 grains is over bored. The real advantage of the 7 RUM is when shooting the heavy 7mm bullets without excessive pressures to reach higher velocities. with a usable case capacity of around 104 grains of powder increases the number of powders you can use. The best comparison to these kinds of claims and skewed numbers is the gas mileage numbers put out by the auto manufactures. (There always does better than others). Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
