Nosler just announced its 33 caliber extension of its proprietary line which includes the 26,28,30 and now the 33. Let's hope the 37 Nosler comes out next year followed by the .41 and 45 Noslers.
Getting performance approaching the Lapua from a cartridge that holds 3 in the mag in a standard length action ( Mauser 98)sounds like a winner.
The 330 Dakota is almost identical ( slightly longer)but not as easily available as a Nosler product.

My contacts in the industry have told me Nosler was coming out with am "entire line".. of their own cartridges..whether that means every caliber or not, I am not sure..but yes, heard of this coming out a few months back...personally and greedy on my part but really hoping they come out with a .416 of some sort...

The .33 caliber would probably be "the one caliber" if I was to use just one that could be used anywhere on the planet..with the exception of the Big Five where it would be illegal in some areas ..but then not so sure the .30 wouldn't fit that bill as well...

Personally as I have stated before, hope they keep coming out with new cartridges..Nosler or anyone else... no one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to buy them..if you don't like them, don't buy them, its as simple as that...the market, by demand, will sort it all out on its own..

I shoot my new calibers as often as I shoot my older ones, in fact right now I shoot them more. I dare to say recoil will not be much different on the Nosler 33 than it was on the older 338 Winchester..I personally have a 338RUM and find it surprisingly comfortable to shoot. Its a standard laminated stocked Remington 700..with scope all in around 9lbs..have shot it several times in the past month...As to barrel errosion..most will never shoot out their barrels..how many thought their .264 W Mags were shot out when actually they just were not cleaned properly..and if you do shoot one out, the last I checked, they still make barrels..

The hype from many of the gun magazines however was just that..hype..the suggestion that the 28Nosler is faster than the 7mm RUM is a lie pure and simple..I have both, hand load for both and have chrono'd both..there is NO way a case holding 10 grs more powder is going to be slower, period... so when reading the info posted, you do need to take it with a grain of salt..or three..same holds true for the 30 Nosler vs the 300RUM...the RUM wins hands down..again, have shot both and loaded for both...the 26Nosler is another story..it smokes the .264 W Mag..as much as it kills me to say that as I am a big .264 Win Mag fan....

Perhaps I am a bit different than the average Joe on the street, but I like playing with them. Different bullet weights, distances, game to be hunted with them..all of that really intrigues me..so, I say, bring them on...My wallet is waiting Gryphon
