[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1892952, member: 93895"] I know nothing about the 28 nosler. I do have an STW and there's nothing like it. All that being said, with those two cartridges you really need to know how much freebore you need on the reamer for the bullet you choose. You need to know enough about it so that a gunsmith can't b.s. you and just use what ever reamer is available to him. This is where the benefit of the newest Hornady cartridges come in. A saami reamer for 6.5cm, 6.5 prc or 300prc is going to have correct freebore for modern long range ( long & heavier) bullets. Correct freebore for Hornady ammo also. So it's an easy road to take for a first time build. If you are a long time handloading veteran, you will have a good understanding of headspace. If you have an excellent understanding of headspace, setting up a prefit with barrel nut will be no problem. [/QUOTE]
