Basically they reinvented the 7mm Rem Ultra Mag, but without a belt and it will work in a standard length action.

The RUM's are already a beltless cartridge.

Yes you are right. The 28 Nosler is supposed to get an extra 100 fps over the 7mm Rem Ultra Mag.
Been here for some time. Announced in January, 2015. Yet another answer to an unasked question.
Nosler claims it's the "most powerful 7mm cartridge commercially available today." Sort of is too. 3806 ft-lbs. at 100 with a 175 grain bullet. 2983 FPS at 100. Still doesn't do anything other 7mm's won't.

T. O'Heir your Correct
There are a number of 7mm rounds that are powerful that have impressive numbers when you compare them head to head. I have a New Nosler reloading manual #7 that has the latest available loading information, when compared head to head there isn't a nickles worth of difference between the 7mag calibers that are currently available.. In my opinion not enough difference between them to spend that kind of money that won't improve on what you may already have in your gun cabinet. Gunbroker has a Nosler 28 rifle listed that starts at $3,200.00.. William

Dakota and Lazeroni already claim to best the 7mm ultra mag.
the ultra mag is beltless already but has a rebated rim.who really needs better guns anyway.people need to learn to load and utilize properly the ones they have

Nosler either has a proprietary powder or is in some way making a not equal comparison with the 7 Rum. The 7 Rum has more case capacity than the 28 Nosler. The 28 Nosler has the same case capacity as the 7 STW. There is no way that all things being ideal for each cartridge the 28 Nosler can out perform the 7 RUM. It simply does not have the case capacity to do it.

Of course they're using a special commercial powder. That's the only way to get the job done, these days.Nosler either has a proprietary powder or is in some way making a not equal comparison with the 7 Rum. The 7 Rum has more case capacity than the 28 Nosler. The 28 Nosler has the same case capacity as the 7 STW. There is no way that all things being ideal for each cartridge the 28 Nosler can out perform the 7 RUM. It simply does not have the case capacity to do it.
But... don't forget about chamber pressure, either.
.28 Nosler is spec'd for 65,000 psi MAP.

Nosler has been advertising over 400 yards of dead hold on with their cartridges. They are allowing plus or minus five inches from point of aim, 10 inch window, which is too large for deer size animals. Their dead on range is just over 300 yards when using the standard six inch window. I am a big fan of Nosler bullets, but this is misleading.
