[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1507631, member: 12995"] Actually, it would be a significant performance gain. Don't let folks lie to you. They are pushing 195's up to, and in some cases over, 3,100 FPS MV. The 7mm RM can't begin to touch that, and neither can the WSM. 7mmRM is one of my favorite cartridges, and I have been hunting with one for over 16 years, but facts are facts. Also, the Nosler is a ballistic twin to the STW (of which I have 2, and have also been shooting for 16 years), and there is a very noticeable performance jump over the 7mmRM. Yes, brass is pricey, but Nosler brass lasts. It's also extremely consistent, and produces some very low ES and SD numbers right out of the pack. Most of them are within 0.2 grains of weight with each other in each pack. Nosler puts out an excellent product. It's worth the money, IMO. I wouldn't begin to build a dedicated long rang elk rifle without starting somewhere around the .28 Nosler or 7mm STW with 180-195 grain bullets. Just personal opinion. [/QUOTE]
