Anyone for a New 7mm?

Hunters are so funny. Laugh2

If some CGNer had wildcatted the 26 and 28 Nosler, everyone would be gushing over it. Since it's introduced by a company, some must try to find fault with it.

A company with an evil motivation like making money of all things.

"This cartridge was designed for one purpose only along with the 26 Nosler and that is to make money for Nosler........PERIOD."
 
I never said or even implied there was anything wrong with making money......I like money as much as the next guy, maybe even more. After being in business for more than 35 years, I have no issue with the free enterprise system, and if you can invent and market a better "widget" and make a couple million then good for you. I just do not personally think either one of these is a better "widget" and there is no market in which to sell a couple million units. Therefore Nosler's motivation must be questioned, especially at over 4 bucks a pop for brass. I think they have let their corporate ego run amuck and think that an elite bunch of snobbie shooters will embrace their cartridges BECAUSE their brass is over 4 bucks a pop and they seek to create that elite market...........apparently they know a whole different bunch of shooters than I do, cause I don't know anybody that will willingly pay nearly 100 bucks for 20 brass..........besides brass is a consumable and needs to be cheap if one wants their latest fad to even have a hope of catching on.
Neither cartridge will out-do the equivalent cal based on a 300 WM case and that brass is available everywhere, as are reamers and one can readily use 264 WM and 7 RM dies to load for them............Besides they are not even new, they are just slightly modified and stolen from Dakota, with just enough change so that Dakota brass cannot be used..........
You know I give Ruger credit with their case for the 375, at least they did something completely new and pretty much unexplored since Newton's cartridges of the 20s. Now that takes balls and innovation and I think there is a very real purpose in a non-belted case with the same dia as a belted case at the belt. It has merit in my opinion. Just to steal someone else's design and add a few thou to the length to make the original unusable, borders on fraudulent.

As with all new introductions, "WE" get to decided if their evil money-making plot will succeed... opinions on blogs are all part of it... every written word, every spoken word, every squeezed trigger & hole in paper, every blood trail, every supporting introduction from partner companies or other companies with evil money-making plots of their own... all accumulate to equal success or failure or another cartridge languishing in obscurity... most likely the latter.
 
I was reading on an American forum:
28 Nosler VS 7mm RUM...
28 Nosler use less powder, less recoil......blah blah...blah..
Marketeting !!!
people will spend 2 gran for a rifle chamber in that caliber to save $10 in powder on the long run ?
and will spend huge money on brass.
This caliber(28 Nosler) is useless in my mind. I`m not a fan of the 7mm RUM, but come on......
peoples are bashing Savage, because of........
but one thing, everybody agree: they nail tacks at 100m.
They are buying cheap rifles, because that's all they can afford.
Savage Axis, Remington sps, browning AB3, weatherby vanguard, Remington 770, Mossberg......
and now we are talking about the Need for a super duper 7mm who already exist. in the RUM configuration.
Come on !!!!
 
While the velocitys listed on the nosler site got my attention, They are not anything the 7Rum dosent do and not enough to make me choose it over a 7 STW.

I think so. :)

And if special expensive dies, several steps to form brass, custom reamers, barrels and bullets were involved, then the gushing would be tsunami like.

Nothing wrong with that. Keeps gunsmiths employed and shooters interested.

$4.60 a piece brass & unavailable bullets isn't interesting.
