[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1637287, member: 66917"] Everything has pluses and minuses with these choices. I have a 26 Nosler and a 6.5 PRC. The Nosler is the winner in the Velocity department no doubt. The 6.5 PRC has been the winner in the consistent accuracy department. In other words the 6.5 PRC has been consistently accurate with multiple bullet powder combinations. I have found some very accurate loads got the Nosler,but its way more finicky. It reminds me of loading for my 7 STW years ago. That STW would shoot 1/2 MOA when everything was perfect, neck tension, land distance etc. I'd say Nosler if you don't mind some careful reloading and you have a need for speed, and who knows maybe you'll get lucky on your barrel. On my PRC I'm getting consistent sub 1/2 moa with the 143+H1000 @ 3097 fps right now out to 300 yards. Still working on the Nosler, IMR 8133 had given good results with 147 + 8133,. It's sub MOA right now but it's been here and there. BTW - The biggest advantage I've found in my PRC is no need for a muzzle brake. Good luck with your rifle, I hope it's s shooter. I don't have any physical evidence of this but I would assume the faster Nosler will wear out the throat faster, but who knows what that race would look like. [/QUOTE]
