[QUOTE="ObiWanKannoli, post: 2751357, member: 116692"] Out of the 30's you've listed, 300 PRC. It is certainly not a fad, and makes solid improvements over older case designs. That said, they may seem marginal to the average shooter. My advice would be if you have, say, a 300 win mag it's not worth the hassle to switch unless you've burnt a barrel out. If you don't have anything and are starting fresh then yes the 300 PRC, to me from a technical standpoint, makes the most sense out of the big 30's. Being able to load long, heavy, high BC projectiles in a factory chamber is worth it. 300 norma will net you some more go, but you're going to pay for that in recoil and barrel life. 300 PRC gives plenty of go for a hunting rifle, and to me the 300 norma is the better suited for the two in ELR where that extra speed can be appreciated and you are shooting exceptionally heavy rifles to soften the blow from the extra powder. 28 nosler is a very different animal; lighter bullets, faster than anything, barrel burner, still not insignificant recoil. People do love it though and for good reason. You will be happy with any of those options for your intended purpose, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
