[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 1637533, member: 31392"] I would go with the 26 Nosler for the simple reason that better brass is available since ADG and/or Petersen are making the Nosler brass and it is great. I am not sure whether there is a high end manufacture making PRC brass yet. Before Nosler came out with the 26 Nosler and others I built a 30-375 Ruger, I would have used 26 or 28 Nosler brass and necked it up if it had been available as I have not had great luck with Hornady brass. Ballistically the difference between the two rounds is not large enough to make the choice on performance so make it on the availability of quality components. Buy two blanks when you start as these are barrel burners I built a 6.5 WSM years ago and got great performance up to about 550 rounds. To do it again I would go with a 7 mm cartridge instead as the performance on the animals will be about the same with greater barrrel life without going to the recoil that the 30 caliber magnums would with heavy bullets. Just my two cents, wade [/QUOTE]
