[QUOTE="WahooYahoo, post: 1678940, member: 94632"] 1st congratulations on what will be a nice rig. I am super partial to the 28 caliber. My personal choice was the 7 Rem Mag and I have no regrets. It’s very shootable and will do what you’re asking it to; however, you already have a Wyatt’s box and you’re asking to kill elk at a grand. Not that the 7RM won’t do it but a bit more hp might be appreciated out there. If you’re a reloader, there are a few I’d look at and a few of avoid. Consider the 7 Sherman and 7 Practical (7-300 as it was intended). Nathan Foster actually prefers the 9 twist in the Practical. I would avoid the nosler. It’s a bruiser, hell on barrels, the cost of its “extra” performance is not worth it. 25% increase in powder, 30%increase in recoil for 7% increase in velocity and 1/5th the barrel life... [URL]https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/7mm+Practical.html[/URL] Note to Nosler fanatics: it’s not personal, just factual data. Also note: Nathan was not testing with 195 EOL, although I’m sure he since has. If the 195 is the projectile of choice I would choose a 1:8.5 or 1:8 for stability [/QUOTE]
