In this video, I conduct a detailed comparison of the 28 Nosler and 300 Win Mag cartridges.
I think most hunters would agree that the 300 Winchester Magnum and 28 Nosler both fantastic cartridges for certain situations. However, while there is definitely some overlap in their capabilities, there are some major differences between the 28 Nosler vs 300 Win Mag cartridges you should be aware of.
Unfortunately, as is the case with many things involving somewhat high octane, new cartridges like the 28 Nosler, there’s a lot of misinformation and marketing hype out there regarding the capabilities of the new caliber. For this reason, while they’re both among the best cartridges for hunting many species of game these days, 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 300 Winchester Magnum.
In this episode, I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the 28 Nosler vs 300 Win Mag in order to give you the information necessary to choose the right one for your needs.

28 Nosler rifles are expensive and 28 Nosler ammo is expensive. The 300 Weatherby can be had in the inexpensive Weatherby Vanguard rifle for less than 600 bucks the ammo can be bought for as low as 60 dollars. 165 gr goes over 3,300 fps mv. The 180 gr goes over 3200 fps mv. 28 Nosler will cost more money and is uncommon.
I have both and my go to for expensive and long wait tag hunts is the 28 nosler with 195 Berger EOL. I can push them a hair over 3000 fps with a 24” barrel and they are extremely bad medicine for big 4 legged critters out to 800+ yards. I don’t advocate for taking those long shots but for hunts that take years to accumulate enough points for a tag, I want every tool available to take that 400 bull if i get a chance.
As a Europian hunter i would like milder option for 28 Nosler in same bullet size. And it is 7 x 57 Mauser in 175grain nosler bullet but milder recoil .There are plenty of factory loads in different brands.Many made in Usa. And it is much better than 308 Win for deer size game. And barrels last longer than 28 Nosler. You loose little in trajector but it is so little i think and you can bild nicer rifle with that.
Ill take the 300WM with my 200gr AB @ 2950 - 3000ft Sec any day of the week. If i want better BC's ill get some 190 ABLR but i dont see the point.
I love the 300 win mag I have one my self 💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had a weak moment and brought home a Savage Ultralight in 28 Nosler. Blueprinted action with 24in Carbon Fiber barrel. I'm having buyers remorse, yet am very attracted to the rifle. I see it as a do lots one gun. Light enough for mountain hunting, yet still short enough for black timber. I think 30 caliber is better on large game, but the 100 rounds of Nosler 175s purchased, sure look sweet. I also own a 300 RUM, 300 Weatherby, 338 Win Mag and 375 Ruger. My goal is to pare these down. Wanting a mountain rifle and one for longer shots at elk and black bear in lower elevations, the Savage 28 Nosler fits nicely, while for things that can bite back, the 375 Ruger fits the bill. Both have some overlap and seem a good pair. On the other hand my Remington 700 in 300 Weatherby covers lots of ground. Most of my rifles are semi-customized hunting rifles and not Sniping rifles, although the 26in 300 RUM comes close. I fret over function, barrel length and stainless vs blued. I do have too much overlap, including 2 300 Win Mags and why I should let some go. I can only hunt with one at a time, so how does one choose from a safe full of fine weapons!? Recoil is a non-issue for me and I do not use brakes! But I love them all and eventually will shed some tears, as I send some to new homes!
Hunted with 30-06 in western desert / mountains all my life with no issues. Most opportunities are at min 250 to 400+ yards and some years ago I decided after reading impressive articles on 7mm Remington Magnum that I really needed one. However after experiencing the recoil shooting prone I changed my mind. It wasn't for me. In my personal experience the 160g 7mm made the 180g 30-06 feel like a 30-30 carbine. I don't feel limited at those ranges with the 30-06. I would suggest if possible try before you buy. Especially if stepping up your cartridge from what your used to.
There is so much to take in with this video, that was just finished my third viewing. Excellent work John. I am amazed that the 175gr. Nosler is still a very lethal elk round at 800 yards! I will not hunt at those ranges but am still amazed by the stats! I look forward to reading your ebook! Thanks for all you do!
You talked about the early days of magnums and not a word about Mr.Weatherby??? He designed the 300 Wby in 1944. By 1959 he developed the 30-378 Wby and that has been the king of factory 30's since it went into production
Hello John and thank you for all of this really fantastic data and the aspects and considerations with the 28 Nosler. I do not have any chance of hunting elk or larger. My 270 takes my Texas deer or axis deer every year and both of these cartridges are just too much. But I am planning an ELR build chambered in 28 Nosler and this was immensely helpful information to me. Thank you for your time, effort, and expense in all of these terrific videos you present. I find it all extremely educational.
I'll stick with my 300 win mag.. great side by side video..
All of your videos are SO DETAILED!
Really enjoying your informative content. I've hunted red deer here in the UK, wild boar in Europe and plains game in Africa with my 300WM. With a suppressor the recoil is really not a problem and I've found it a fantastic cartridge. Using 180g Barnes home loads I've shot a lot of plains game up to kudu and eland. I even shot a duiker with it. The bullet caused pretty minimal damage on the cape and killed the animal instantly. I've never felt under gunned with it or worried about it's capability at range (although I rarely take shots past 250 metres). On smaller deer in the UK I use a 243 or 7x57 as the ol' 300 is probably a bit much for them! Keep up the great work!
I have both. I purchased a 28 Nosler last year and I'm working on load development now. I was recently able to procure some RL33 which is one of the best powders to load for the 28 Nosler.
Nicely done. Great channel with the subject always presented well. Thank you
Excellent FULL Presentation of all known info with logical rationales according to external considerations.Really I must commend this comparison for it's completeness. I subscribed and look forward to further shows . This LEVEL of analysis is outstanding, allowing for a confident understanding . Thanks
28 Nosler 180gr VLD Red Stag 430 yards. Great video John really enjoyed it. Love my Mesa 28 Nosler
Took a elk with 300wm at 550 yards this last season with a bergara b14 hunter.
A 300 Winmag rifle can be bought for less than 400 bucks and ammo can go down to 30 bucks a box.
Can you do an apples to apples comparison of 325wsm, 8mm rem mag and 8x57
