    Next 30 cal build, which caliber? - 300PRC, 30 Nosler, .300 Norma, 300 WSM, etc?

    All the 30 are almost equal in that area, the Weatherby and Ultra take longer action But 30 Norma will outshine all of them beyond 500 yards I would build on H&H length so I could set longer bullet out in a longer mag well of H&H!

    300 prc vs 30 nosler

    I have a 300 Win and have thought and study this very question Between the three out to 500 yards there they're basically the same and magazine well is your limiting factor. With the PRC and Nosler you have a shorter case that's fat so longer bullet is not pushed into charge witch makes...

    Whats Todays Thoughts On The 284?

    It was a short action cartridge and there were 160 & 175 offerings in Hodgdon's #21 manual but I shoot a 6.5x284 and with all the newer long slender missile the long action is the better choice.
