[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1811328, member: 93895"] I've never shot a 28 nosler but I do have a 7mm stw and really like it. It's too long for most magazines, I done extensive mods& got it to work nicely, but the 28 nosler is shorter & will duplicate the stw and would be my choice to drive a 180 grain to nearly 3200 fps. Although 3200 fps is great, I wouldn't want it in a medium or light weight rig. A cartridge that would push a 180gr to around 3050 fps would fit the bill for just about anything most people would want to do and still be very recoil tolerable. Some people get 3050 out of a 7mm Rm. I have three of them. I personally wouldn't push mine that hard even if I could get there with them, which I can't. The Sherman cartridges seem very well though out. 7mm300wm/7mm practical seems very nice also. Right now, there is not hardly anything mainstream that fits that performance window between 7mmstw/28nosler & 7mm rm. I keep hearing 7mm prc but I wouldn't bank on it and even if it happens you would want to wait till someone else makes brass for it. That pretty much leaves one of the Shermans or 7mm300wm(or 7mm practical variant) [/QUOTE]
