[QUOTE="ishootkittens, post: 1494873, member: 23225"] Just not sure why? The wsm is almost 20 years old. People love the 270 offering and brass is readily available and it's a commercial cartridge that has parts and pievea a But why? The wsm case has been around almost 20 years after people said it was a fad. The 270 wsm being the most popular works out for me as there are 5 different manufacturers of brass and they are readily available in 3 different calibers. If Winchester would have came out with the 6.5 wsm a few years ago, we wouldn't be having this conversation about the prc. Or maybe we would since Hornady seems to mimic what works. And I'm not sure what issues you are running into with a wildcat cartridge but I am a handloaders and it's what we do. I don't care if Hornady comes out with 100 different types of ammo, my gun may not like any of them, hence the handloaders.The 26 nosler is overbore even by my standards and law of diminishing returns kicked in about 20gr ago. The 28 nosler is nice though and I may have one later but the 26 is just ridiculous. I feel like it needs super duper slow powders and a long barrel to really get going along with 20gr(h2o) of unnecessary case capacity. Just my opinion which doesn't mean much. I get WHY Hornady came out with the PRC, I just don't know why or how the PRC is better than the WSM case. And appreciate the advice on r26, haven't got my hands on any yet but there are a few powders I'd like to try out. Like to find a nice temp insensitive powder [/QUOTE]
