I am about to start a 7mm build. Keep in mind this will be a hunting rifle for 7-800yd max range. After running a 20" 6.5cm and loving the short barrel I am thinking about a 22" 7mm. Also I want to run the 180 eldm. I want to run around 2900fps. I was thinking a 7saum but recently saw Gunwerks building 22" 28nosler rifles. What are your thoughts on a 28n with a 22" bbl??

Keep in mind a couple things

1: I don't care if it is a flame thrower out the end of the barrel.

2: I don't care if the barrel only lasts 700 rounds.

3: I think I can run a little faster powder (4831sc vs h1000) to optimize the short barrel.

Not much. The 28 is MAXIMUM size for a 28 bore. With a 22 you would get very little gain over a 7 rem mag. With a 22 inch maybe even a 7 saum would be better. But I have to hand it to them. Any angle to sell something. Big case and a small bore needs barrel length.

With my customers I steer them to know what is right and what works. Not BS to fatten the checkbook
 
I have a good story to tell. I have a customer in Montana. Bought a 300 rum from a whiz bang best in thee world for 5700. Lawyer and accountant in one place. Smith in another.THEIR action was a remington milled and their name stamped on it. They did not polish the chamber edge so it scraped brass trying to chamber a round. A no throat chamber and it was not marked. A 300 rum has a lot of freebore like a weatherby. I am surprised bad things did not happen. They charged him 700 to shoot the rifle and dial in a load. The action was milled for a wyatts box but a regular box was installed so it was flopping back and forth. The customer is an outfitter that hunts the Bob marshall. Get my drift? Buyer beware.
