Performance[edit]
Nosler took the 6.5mm cartridge and necked it up to 7mm. The 28 Nosler is loaded in a variety of weights.[4] According to data listed for Nosler ammunition, the 28 Nosler is capable of firing a 160 gr. AccuBondŽ bullet at 3300 fps muzzle velocity or a 175gr AccuBondŽ Long Range bullet at 3125 fps muzzle velocity when fired from a rifle with a 26” barrel.[5]
To give some context, at 160 grains the 28 Nosler is around 300 fps faster at the muzzle than the 7mm Remington Magnum. [3]
Will make a great long range cal for anyone who doesn't want to reload with the factory ammo that's available.
Sounds like a good cal :)
Basically the same as Terminator Products 7/375? 162 amax at 3250+
It's the greatest thing . . . till the next one.
Same capacity as the stw but shorter and fatter case.
whats the parent cartidge ?
.404 Jeffrey
Or abes 7mm screamer would do the same if not better
Before anyone conciders this, better check ammo and brass price, ouch. it is $6.00 plus a round up here (Canada), brass is very expensive, if you can find it.
Know of a few .26 Nosler's that are now for sale, for this reason,
The .28 Nosler isn't doing anything, that the Weatherby, STW or 7mm RUM arn't already capable off.
Not sure there is room for another big 7mm, at least the 26 Nosler brings more to the table, that its closest rival, the .264 win,
Sounds like a special snowflake style cal.
For when you just have to be different from everyone else
Case looks good easy enough to get bits also.

Think that was most mag 7mms I had ☺
So just get a rum?
The rums i used had 30 inch tubes and long throats to stop pressure fluctuations when run hard
Throat erosion was a constant event and the 180 berger was not a reliable harvester of light thin skinned deer past 800yrds with its variable meplat diameter.
The 300g berger is a reliable harvester, more so than any other projectile thats beneath it in terms of calibre and weight.
Its not too tricky to make a 338 edge weigh 7 pounds without scope, which is often too light :)
I would rather have a 300wsm or 300 win mag pushing 208 amaxs at 2800-2900fps than a 7 mmrum for long range harvesting, and have used plenty of them now.
The 208 amax is a Hammer
