[QUOTE="KYpatriot, post: 1148029, member: 48028"] 28 nosler. I considered every 7mm available at the time for a custom build, and went with the 7 rem mag, as it was just a little faster than the 7 wsm with heavies. Had the 28 been an option I would have done that. If you are worried about barrel life, then shoot a 308 trainer and shoot your custom 7 just enough to develop a load, validate trajectory, and hunt. Or Have two barrels smithed at once. Most misses at range are bad wind calls and shooter position building errors, and you can practice those with another rifle. In fact, it is easier to learn to dope the wind with a poor performing wind cartridge like the 308. There isnt much difference incrementally between the 284win and the 7rsaum, the 7rsaum and the 7wsm, the 7 wsm and the 7rem mag, the 7 rem mag and the STW, and the STW and the 28nosler. Yet, there is a LOT of difference between the 284 and the 28 Nosler. In the end, hits at long range will depend on your consistency at the rifle, your load development ability, and most of all your wind calling ability, and given the world class performance of any of the those cartridges with the amazing 7mm heavies available today, which one you choose is probably not even in the top ten list of concerns when engaging long range targets.
