[QUOTE="AlphaDogs, post: 1900668, member: 114216"] Curious as to what is this problem w/the 7mm RUM ? Hope it's not the old "too short neck" that has haunted the 300 Winmag for decades with no side by side data to prove it. Meanwhile it keeps killing far more game and terrorists than any other 30 caliber magnum. BTW the neck is .306 long, exceeding the old one caliber rule. "The 28 Nosler is essentially a shortened version of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7mm_Remington_Ultra_Magnum']7mm Remington Ultra Magnum[/URL].
