[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1567752, member: 12995"] While I really like the .28 Nosler, the answer is a resounding [B]HELL NO!!![/B] The STW has over 40 years on the .28 Nosler. It's not even a competition. The reason .28 Nosler brass is not as common, is because 1) it's new, and 2) most of us who shoot the 7mm STW are far vested in the cartridge, and have been for many years. For example, I have more than a few barrel's worth of brand new Nosler 7 STW brass sitting brand new in hermetically sealed bags and in sealed metal .50 cal ammo cans just sitting around. It's not a matter of if I use it, it's a matter of when. Some of us learned to love the cartridge early on. There's guys like WildRose that have been shooting it long before I was, and I've been shooting it for almost 18 years. It's just one of those classics that never goes out of style, because it has one hell of a legacy behind it. The .28 Nosler might be one of those someday, but it's got 35+ years to go before it can even think about competing with the 7mm STW. Ballistic-wise, the .28 Nosler is identical to the 7mm STW. The shorter fatter case makes for really nice cartridge in the factory 3.65" magazine box. But even then, it's got a long way to go to compete in legacy with the 7mm STW. [/QUOTE]
