Gents where does the 28SM fit in all of this?
Actually the history behind the 6.5x300 Wby is quite interesting.You sir are the first to even mention a cartridge that i should like to put a gun around one that has always intrigued me because of it's up and down popularity and apparent disapearance. The old 8mm mag as a young guy i hunted quite a bit with an old 8mm Mauser turkish rifle it was but i never did shoot a mgnum in that 8mm chambering always thought that would be one heck of a long range rifle
Nope they won't know the difference and once again The OP never mentioned a 7mm Mag, He doesn't want run of the mill 3100fps, He wants a RUM or a STW that sets his hair on fire, You can live on the Borderline or you can just be a BoardHonestly, do you think a hit in the basketball sized chest cavity of an elk will notice the difference ??? In my opinion, it won't and I'll throw in the plain Jane boring 7mm rem mag in the comparison also...a great bullet traveling in the 2800-3100 area will handle anything you can hit with one....too much expense and drama with the first two for my liking, I guess a true 7mm fan will just love en' all....
I don't see the OP objecting to the mention of other cartridges, so I don't understand why you feel compelled to do so ad nauseum. It doesn't seem to bother anyone else when a thread deviates from the OP, nor is anyone "hijacking" the thread by simply bringing up points to consider in the debate at hand.Nope they won't know the difference and once again The OP never mentioned a 7mm Mag, He doesn't want run of the mill 3100fps, He wants a RUM or a STW that sets his hair on fire, You can live on the Borderline or you can just be a Board
Well if we are gonna do that lets bring the 300 Rum in to the story and be done with, and it bothers a lot of people but they just ignore it for the sake of not starting a dumpster fire, The debate at hand isI don't see the OP objecting to the mention of other cartridges, so I don't understand why you feel compelled to do so ad nauseum.

Heck I can't believe I read all of this thread. I swear it like going shopping for a new pair of shoes with my wife. "Which do you like best honey?"When its been shot i was very careful to not heat it atal 1 shot every 15minutes or so and it is shockingly acurate im going to dope it out to 1200yrds once my scope shows up for it and sell it ready to go with 100 rounds of loaded shels and the dies will go with it boyds laminate thumbhole stock with a mercury tube in it its kicking about like a 270
Curious, when you say "they just don't work", what does that mean. Also, I'm curious how in the field the STW is better. Maybe some evidence or more explanation on what exactly that means.I'll have to disagree, as I said earlier, a bunch of us had them and they just don't work. On paper it should but in the field the STW is still the King
A bunch of powder for a minimal gain over the STW, The 7 Rum while a fine round borders the diminishing returns mirroring the Hot Tamale, then add in all that free bore that is necessary and there you are, once again it's a great round ( I have had 2ea of them) but IMO ( and that's all it is) the STW is more efficient, I've killed critter with both and once again IMO the STW was the clear winnerCurious, when you say "they just don't work", what does that mean.

That makes more sense to me. I'm curious though why you believe the STW killed game better than the RUM.A bunch of powder for a minimal gain over the STW, The 7 Rum while a fine round borders the diminishing returns mirroring the Hot Tamale, then add in all that free bore that is necessary and there you are, once again it's a great round ( I have had 2ea of them) but IMO ( and that's all it is) the STW is more efficient, I've killed critter with both and once again IMO the STW was the clear winner
