In this video, I do detailed analysis of the 6.8 Western vs 7mm Rem Mag vs 28 Nosler and which one you should be using in your rifle.
I think most hunters would agree that the 7mm Remington Magnum and 28 Nosler are both fantastic cartridges for hunting a wide variety of big game. However, the 6.8 Western is much newer and is not nearly as well understood by the majority of sportsmen. All offer certain advantages to hunters, but there are some significant differences between the 6.8 Western vs 7mm Rem Mag vs 28 Nosler cartridges you should be aware of.
Unfortunately, as is the case with many things involving the new cartridges like the 6.8 Western, there’s a lot of misinformation and marketing hype out there regarding the capabilities of the new caliber. For this reason, it’s really easy to get confused when trying to understand the actual strengths and weaknesses of that cartridge compared to more established centerfire rifle cartridges like the 28 Nosler and 7mm Remington Magnum.
In this episode, I’m going to do a detailed comparison of the 6.8 Western vs 7mm Rem Mag vs 28 Nosler in an effort to show the differences between those cartridges so you can make an informed decision on which one will work best for you.

I appreciate the detailed comparison. There is not much practical difference between the 7mm Magnum and the 6.8 Western. It is really an impressive cartridge. I think the 6.8 Western will have a bright future.
Happy to hear you say "ballistic coefficient" instead of "ballistics coefficient."
I aim to serve!
My brain is telling me 28, but my boby, my body is telling me 6.8!
Ain't that the truth! LOL! I feel the same way sometimes...
Wow what great video. Tons of information, you certainly didn’t leave anything out. I love shooting the 270 for a number of reason. For me it seems to do everything well. I see the 6.8 as the new and improved 270.
I love that it shoots high BC bullets, shoots fast and flat with a milder recoil. Plenty of energy out to 1500 yards. Faster barrel twist than the 270. I would love to buy one. However I can’t find one locally.
Thanks for sharing
Video great video very well put together you're very prepared you did a really good job
I'm a 270 aqua improved owner of a very old vintage Remington rifle have done a lot of custom work too. My limitation with my rifle is the twist rate. However being able to shoot 145 Grand projectiles with a near .600 BC it's still very satisfactory. Rarely do I get past distances of 600 m and I can always adjust for things like wind and lower velocities. When I do finally shoot out the barrel and it's time to replace it I will be doing a one and seven five for a one and eight twist barrel so that I don't have any problems stabilizing those 175 grain projectiles at longer distances. Might as well take advantage of the extra six grains of powder a lot of to me through a ackley chambering
Thanks for the video. I'm trying really hard to not fall for the 6.8 Western but it's just so efficient for its size... I love my Ackley and I ain't never gonna leave my baby!
Good luck! Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you sir. I would like to see something like this that covered 30 nos, 300prc and the loved 300winmag. Maybe also include the arc. I believe I want a prc for my new Mt rifle but I'm not rich and buying a custom rifle I'd like to get it right the first time.
Is this sort of what you're looking for?

@@Thebiggamehuntingblog yes sir. Thank you not sure how I missed that. I've been trying to decide between a 28nos a 300prc and good ol 300win
I'm leaning towards 300prc!
great comparison video. for me it's the 7mm rm for options, affordability, and barrel longevity.
Not a darn thing wrong with that!
Would you consider comparing the 7mm rem mag vs 300 win mag vs 338 win mag? I think it would be great video
6.8 to me just seems like 270wsm with a shiny new name.
Well, Go to you local Sporting goods/Gun store. Check what Ammo boxes are available on the shelf. And buy the rifle that has the most ammo available. If you handload, you might dwell into balistics. 7MM Rem Mag will do the same as the 6.8 western. If you want the fastest, the 28 Nosler is the one.And don't leave out the 280 Ackley Imp. Bit under a 7mm RM
I see more 6.8 Western ammo more then ANY ammo just about now a days! Winchester was really wanting to push it on guys, and that was one reason why I never looked at it, but back into rifle for deer and trying for multi season tags for elk and bear I had to grab that MPR .300 wm
Thanks for your detailed comparison.
My pleasure!
Their is much to be said for older well established cartridges! Last year I was looking to upgrade to a .300 Remington Ultra Magnum, but just as ammo was getting ridiculously hard to find, I picked up a partial Box of 7mm Magnum 150 grain Norma's and a full box of empty brass from a gentleman at a yard sale for $20 and in my past I have been given a bag of mixed empty 7mm Remington Magnum brass (yes I do reload.) I decided that now was just not a good time for the .300 RUM no matter how good it looked on paper. I hope things change soon!!!
Let’s goooo 6.8 Western
Been curious about the 6.8 Western for a while. Nice to see it compared to more established staple cartridges. I know it doesn't put the "Big" in big game hunting, but I would like to see a comparison of varmint cartridges like: 17 Rem, 220 Swift, 223 WSSM, 22-250, etc.
Here is a fun fact for ya,The 28 nosler outperforms the 300 win mag.that being said 7 rem mag all day long
Great information man! Hard to beat all the information you are putting out buddy! Other channels shouldn't even try lol appreciate your work and knowledge, dang out hunting at the camp fire I can hear you talk all night, Id just sit back and soak up all the knowledge like the Highlander (old viking type show, heads come off, knowlege taken...There can only be one lol sorry had to for the people that don't know hahaha)!
Haha, thanks!
I was wanting to buy a deer gun that shot great out to 500 yards and was eyeballing the .270 WSM and had my mind made up, saw when this 6.8 Western came out and I didn't give it a 2nd look I mean I took the round out of the box and checked it out, but the closer I got to buying my rifle Christensen MPR my 2nd one I couldn't get it in the .270 WSM I wasn't opposed to a Christensen Ridgeline either after I bought my .300 wm in the Christensen MPR I must of got a really really really good rifle because this beast is key holeing at 300 rounds not every time but dang near, if I time my heart beat its key holeing the rifle is that fricking good! So I am sold on the Christensen brand, I shot a Fierce they are just a really fat n wide stock and it had some whip from the bedding it shot ok but for the money it wasnt close to the Christensen Id imagine Fierce will take a while to get those machines that Christensen has! Christensen was making airplane parts before so they have the best of the best machines and they are able to make rifles at the tightest tolerances possible!!! Anyway I am sold on the 6.8 Western after doing research and the Gunwerks can was making it MORE ACCURATE and no speed loss I was VERY IMPRESSED!!!! Winchester hit it out of the park with the 6.8 Western it made a round that is literally on that fine line of being a magnum but its NOT!!! I have a long range magnum so this 6.8 Western is going to be a fun build I cannot wait!!!!! Going to run the range and bluetooth system not sure which one ill see if Sig has got it where I want if not then the other choice is obvious. Cheers!!!
Great video ...still love my old remington bdl 7 mag!
1250 rounds with still sub moa at 100 yards on my 28 nos with full power handloads but after 900 rounds it went from .44 group constant to a .97
I am a big fan of the 28 nosler, ron spomer with the 6.8 took a deer at 777 yards to those who hunt at longer ranges
You saw that video because he killed the deer. Had he missed or wounded it, perhaps he’d follow the script from the other long range boys.
@@youngin881 im not saying i use it i hunt elr with 30-378 weatherby 28 nos and 338-378weatherby 🙂
We had the 6.8 SPC added about 10 years ago. The 27 Nosler is fairly new. There are also three new new 6.8x51 rounds of different design that were created to compete for the new military standard weapon to replace 308 and belt fed 556 systems (Sig 277 Fury, Textron 6.8, and 6.8 TVCM). These 6.8x51 cartridges are each new designs that don't follow old standard brass design. They have the capability of pushing the .277 faster from shorter barrels in fairly small cartridge size compared to what you would even see from magnum brass. Lots of 6.8 going on. The 6.8 Western likely got to the punch first as a civilian standard brass cartridge that does what a lot of people currently want with the long range lighter recoil trend (27 Nosler takes the higher recoil flatter trajectory crown). They will succeed where others didn't see the writing on the wall. The new military 6.8 chosen will likely be higher cost for ammo a while and more of a barrel burner - really competing with the 27 Nosler on the civilian side. The 6.8 Western chose well as a niche filling the use case similar to 6.5 Creedmoore (but offering better ballistics and energy) using soon to be ubiquitous 6.8 bullets while not competing with the new military round.
I believe the plastic ammo case deal is to prohibit reloading by civilian.
What plastic ammo case?
@@Thebiggamehuntingblog polymer might be the more specific term, purportedly to reduce weight… but I never believe what’s presented
It's polymer 277 sig fury rounds
How come you do not have 10x more subscribers . Folliwing u for months and love your vedio .
Vs 7mm RUM and 7mm Weatherby magnum.
the lack of loading components and dies and poor ammunition choices for the 6.8 is destroying it as an option. for most if you dont need that big mostly better options like PRC and 280 AI with ammunition options.
That’s starting to change. ADG looks like they will be producing brass for the Western, and both Lee and RSBC have dies for the 6.8 Western.
We are learning that Hornady has been giving false velocities with their 7 PRC by a couple hundred feet.
I will take the good old 7mm mag. please, ammunition is a non issue and it kills elk and deer like lightning, thanks for the videos!!!
Why is the velocity different for the 7 Mag? It’s 2900 for the ballistics comparison and 2914 for the recoil comparison. What gives?
Good question. The ballistics comparison uses advertised factory ammo velocities, which are usually a round number. I used handloads that approximate the performance of those factory loads to calculate recoil because the powder charge is a factor in calculating recoil. Well, 2,914fps was the closest velocity my reloading handbook spit out to the one I used for the ballistic comparison, so I used that powder charge to calculate recoil. Hope that make sense.
I was just watching the 6.8 western video
6.8 is definitely not better than 7mm magnum but is better than the 30-06. 😁👍
Wouldn't say better but it's pretty equal and uses less powder hard to beat the WSM design
I don’t know why people think they need fire breathing dragon cartridges to kill game. Not necessarily saying it’s a bad thing and not saying the 7mm mag or 6.8 is but I think people get to caught up in getting the biggest baddest thing they can get.
I'll keep my 7mm rem mag.
340 Weatherby. Sorry
6.8 is a terrible cartridge no matter how many factory components they make
Why do you think it is a terrible cartridge?
