[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2520455, member: 83259"] I have had or have all three of your choices (30 nos, 300 prc, 300 wm). I don’t think there is really a wrong choice. I do think 3100 out of a 30 nos may be expecting a little much. Some barrels may do it and some may not. Mine wouldn’t even come close and it was throated for the 215. Great accuracy and easy to load for just wasn’t a fast barrel by any means. My current 300 prc is faster then it was. So I wouldn’t bank on getting 3100. N570 is your best bet if your really wanting that speed but it’s pretty rough on throats. 300 wm is never a bad choice, just don’t expect to get the velocity that a lot of guys claim. 2860-2920 ish with a 215 (26”) is more realistic if you want your brass to last. One big advantage of the 30 nos is ADG brass has been easy to find vs 300 prc. And no clickers like the 300 PRC seems to have issues with. 300 Norma (standard) doesn’t really impress me from what I have seen, the AI version is certainly a step up though. If I was consistently shooting at 2000 yards I think I would probably step up to a .338 of some variety. Spotting splash at 2000 yards with any 30 cal can be tough at least for me depending on conditions. [/QUOTE]
