The rim of the RUM was already rebated to fit a. Nosler shortened the RUM case, gave it a 35-degree shoulder, and shortened the neck to. It is based on the fat, belt-free 404 Jeffery case, but Nosler likely just started with the 7mm RUM which is itself a modified Jeffery.

performance without stepping up to a full magnum length cartridge and rifle action was Nosler’s goal. 28 Nosler was created by shortening the 7mm RUM case and sharpening the shoulder. Now let’s compare this to our other two 7mm candidates. bullet have what it takes for hunting anything short of dangerous game. Check out the 10 mph right-angle wind deflection at 400 yards: just 7.82 inches. I neither believe in this minimum nor in shooting elk at 700 yards, but this is impressive performance for a standard-length cartridge nearing its 60th birthday. MPBR: 365 yards (Zero at 307 yards, 3.9” high at 100 yards)įirst, notice that kinetic energy remains above the “elk killing minimum” of 1,500 ft-lbs at 700 yards.Recoil: 26.5 ft-lbs at 14.6 fps velocity.This is probably too high for real world hunting, but we’ll use it as a standard here for cartridge-to-cartridge comparison consistency.) 7mm Rem. (Aim for center and bullet will not rise more than 5 inches nor fall more than 5 inches within the MPBR. We’ll use a 10-inch diameter target zone for computing Maximum Point Blank Range. This compromise should account for the slower muzzle velocities many rifles produce with factory loads and safe handloads. Your results may vary.īecause the 7mm RM is a familiar benchmark, let’s establish some basic performance numbers in an 8 pound rifle with 24-inch barrel spitting a representative spire point, boat tail, 175-grain hunting bullet, B.C.672., MV 2,900 fps. Another indicates 74-grains of Hodgdon 870 will churn up 2,954 fps. Ron Spomerįill this brass case with smokeless powder instead of water and, according to some handloading guides, 62.5 grains of Reloder 22 should shove a 175-grain bullet from a 24-inch barrel 2,870 fps. 28 Nosler and 7mm RUM push the same bullets-just faster. Moose by the dozens have fallen to the 7mm Rem. Handloaders can take advantage of all these, but most commercial ammunition features 120-grain to 178-grain bullets. Like all 7mms, they can fire bullets as light as 100-grains and as heavy as 180-grains. 284 Winchester, both excellent but underrated “standard” velocity cartridges. 28-inch across, but only two use this Imperial measuring system in their titles. Almost overnight the “seven em em” was on the lips of American hunters. Then Remington blew the doors wide open with their new 7mm magnum chambered in their equally new and affordable M700 rifles. Neither caught on, but American shooters were certainly beginning to recognize the potential for 7mm cartridges. More obscure were the 7mm Gibbs and the Norma-loaded 7圆1mm Sharpe & Hart in the early 1950s.
