Well it's on thier page and they're taking pre orders. This is more in my interest than the 26 and may be my next rifle. It has the long range performance in a bullet weight and diameter that's leaving a bigger hole. The ballistics page indicate 3100 fps starting out, and trajectory is of course good.

Don't forget to add 7 LRM to that mix.

Yes in a 26" barrel 3150 175 ABLR or 3300 160 AB but this can be had in a standard length action of COAL of 3.340"

Can you say "7mm Wby, STW, Ultramag, Dakota?" First two have belts. You can't even buy Ultramag ammo, much less brass now. Dakota ain't makin' brass, Nosler is. AI chassis, 28in heavy palma with a rem-nut. Fat Bastard brake. I'd like to have one if the brass isn't five bucks each. Every trigger pull is likely burning 40-50cents worth of barrel steel. Maybe setting the same barrel back might be an option. Rem-nut barrel for sure.

I HAD a 7 Rem Mag and never got the performance out of it I thought it should deliver. Pulled that tube for a .300WM and kept thinking I may do a new barrel based on a .375 Ruger to get the larger case in a standard action.
The belt is a waste of space in the magazine, but doesn't hurt anything else. I'd been considering a .338/.375R or similar. This 28N seems like a simple swap to a "standard" cartridge. The cost of brass will suck at first but probably not a big deal when considering many other endevours.

True. Especially so if you keep the loads toned down, and if you do that, then maybe the barrel won't go tits up as fast, sort of like the claims being made about the 6.5 SAUM. I think this cartridge has promise. Time will tell. A 180gr Berger @ 3000fps with mild pressure is a win/win, IMO.

What do you get when you combine a re-tread with a glocktard?

RM, there are 4 basic action lengths.
Short: .308 WSM Standard: 30.06 Longs: 7mm STW.

Short: .308 WSM Standard: 30.06 Longs: 7mm STW. I am familiar with the short actions: .308, .243, etc, and long actions: 7STW, .300 Magnums, but I don't know about any "standard .30-06 actions. The .30-06, .270, .280 etc are build on long actions as far as I know. The major factories don't use a "standard .30-06 action". The Klienguenther K14 and K15's that I purchased in 7mm Rem Mag came in a long action which I rechambered to 7-.300 Wea. When the barrels wore out I had them chambered to 7-.300 Wea. The actions were not changed at all. The 7mm Rem Mag is the same length as the ".30-06 standard length".

The 7mm Rem Mag is the same length as the ".30-06 standard length". Remingtons, yes, but I'm not sure about others. Didn't the H&H's have to be chambered in an action longer than the original 8mm 98? I'm asking, not stating.

so what's all the bs about the ridiculous " 30 aught six length " crap anyway ? (same Rem long action may as well use it to full potential)
cartridges like the 375 Ruger and 26, 28 Nosler are hyped up to possess this extraordinary magical trait ..... how does 30-06 length make them better ??

I'll give Nosler style points for ingenuity and marketing but as far as minute of meat not much better than most present offerings.They're loony chamberings and nothing more IMO.

Whatever, but this will be, possibly, the FIRST commercial fast seven, sans belt, with quality brass, that will hopefully be available when and if you need it. Paying around a buck a pop and then having to go through case-forming gyrations ain't my idea of a good time. YMMV.
