What less expensive 284 will do what the 28 Nosler will do?
As I said above, the 7mm Remington Magnum will do it.
A few inches more drop at 700 yards is nothing.
What less expensive 284 will do what the 28 Nosler will do?
No, it won't.As I said above, the 7mm Remington Magnum will do it.
7 Rum will match it performance wise, but it uses extra long action.You have 7 Wby(1940) then you have 7RUM.]
No, it won't.
28 Nosler will push a 140 to 3375 at safe pressure.Yes, it will.
I have no need for one. I have 3 7Rem mags, 2 7WSM, a 284, a 284 AI, 2 7 STWs, a 7 WBY, and 2 7 RUMs. Having said that, I am sure I will eventually build one.But if you want a 28 Nosler, then just get one. Who cares what we think?
even Hodgdon data suggests that between 26 nosler and 270 wsm with 140 grain pills i can attain velocities within 50 FPS. Although, Nosler's starting load data is about the max of Hodgdons data.... With H50BMG The max loads between hodgon and Nosler is a 10 grain Difference for the 26 nosler.Kilotanker,
Would this be the same Nosler data that suggests you can get a 140gr bullet out of a 280 Rem at over 3,100 fps?
Seems interesting seeing as everyone elses data can only push them 2,800-2,900 fps.
My own chrono backs the other loading manuals also.
I still don't know why i bought the second Nosler manual (8). Their data seems errr, wildly optimistic shall we say.
Untill others come onboard and release data for those 2 cartridges i think i would stick with Hodgdon's load data.
28 Nosler will push a 140 to 3375 at safe pressure.
What 7 Rem mag load does that???

The 28 Nosler is flatter. What does "no realistic difference" truly mean? We will say "there is no realistic difference between a:" 28 Nosler and a 7 STW, between a 7 STW and a 7 Rem Mag, between a 7 Rem Mag and a 7 WSM, between a 7 WSM and a 7RSAUM, between a 7 RSAUM and a 280AI, between a 280 AI and a 280 Rem, between a 280 Rem and a 7-08, a 7-08 and a SAAMI spec 7x57, between a 7x57 and a 7x30 Waters.The 7mmRM won't get that fast, true. But, it will exceed 3200 with that bullet and what real difference is that? What will that bullet do at 3375 that it wont at 3200?
It's on that basis that I say the 7mmRM is good enough. There is no realistic difference IMO.
