[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1918912, member: 85874"] JE I personally think it is the best of the 3 mentioned. I have owned a 7 STW and to properly shoot the long high BC bullets that we use now the 7 STW and the 7 RUM would require a loooong Magazine. If you have a 7 STW length action, mine is a Model 70, the 28 Nosler with long bullets fits properly. All the RUMS suffer from bullets seated too deep to fit in normal actions we have today. Rhian built my rifle and I could not be happier. All three are over bore and therefore hard on throats but that goes with the territory. When you go for speed you pay a price. So to answer your questions it fits in a magazine easier, It is easy to load for and shoots the 175-195 class of bullets well. I would not go back to the 7 STW now that I have a 28 Nosler. I think we view cartridges differently now that we have great ballistic calculators and rangefinders and scopes that dial accurately. Before we wanted light and fast bullets to flatten the trajectory for the so called flat shooting cartridges. Now that is not nearly as important as in the past. So our cartridges have evolved to shoot the heavy high BC bullets of today and the 28 Nosler does just that. [/QUOTE]
