The numbers don't lie ,its a hell of a long range barrel stretcher.195 berger EOL elite hunter at 3150 fps RJ

any cartridge can be pushed beyond the limits

Thats a big bullet, at insane speed. Bullet alone must be almost as.long as a loaded 22 hornet.

I dont see the comparison with 28 nosler an.284 bore?

I'm thinking of maybe building one but can't seem to find much for brass and dies any thoughts , I've been wanting a hot 6.5 for a while

Last year my son purchased a Mark V in the 6.5-300 Wby. No brass to be located, therefore he purchased two boxes of ammo.........done. The best powder to date is Hodgdon US 869 using the 130 gr. Nosler accubond. Good groups, (3/4") but we're are still tinkering on great groups. Another good powder, however with less velocity is, Norma 217, but finding it is like pulling hens teeth.

28 nosler for sure !I am a 264/6.5 guy but the numbers for the 28 nosler with that 195 burger is Just plain undeniable.Just use your 6.5 Creedmoor for plinking and save the big 7 for the serious long range stuff.

Sorry for the hijack Coyote, but how does the 7RUM compare to the 28Nosler capacity wise?

 

[G.E.FLACH]

yeah a little bit.

The load is a grain below max no pressure at 87.5 listed max is 88.9 .In my ladder test showed light extractor marks at 88.5 and 3200 fps.No base expansion.So I backed it down a grain and 3148 fps .BINGO!

12% larger than 28N

 

[double gun]

So what’s the advantage of the nosler?

 

[todbartell]

lots of info online for 300 PRC vs 300 Ultra. Same applies to 28N/7RUM

more head height for projectiles at 3.65" OAL, better quality brass, longer barrel length, less recoil, more available powders, better factory ammo, more rifle selection
