[QUOTE="quarterman, post: 2486299, member: 87342"] I am also more off a 7mm fan then a 30 cal fan. My reason for it is in a similar bullet weight the 7mm bullets have a higher b.c. and I can push them just as fast. So I end up shooting flatter and retaining more energy and velocity then I would with the similar weight bullet out of a 30 cal magnum. If you compare a 28 nosler to a 300 wby or prc using a bullet with similar BC then the 28 will be going faster then the 30 cal bullet.. I like higher velocities and I dont worry to much about barrel life, so for me velocity is king. As far a how they kill, you wont be able to tell a difference between how a 300 prc or a 28 nosler kill elk, deer or moose. You cant go wrong with either choice. In my case I sold my 300 prc and 300 weatherby. My go to rifles are both 28 noslers. As far as comparing thses to your 6.5 PRC , I do feel there is a fair difference on heavier game if shot placement isnt perfect. But that being said all the game animals I have shot with a 6.5 prc, 6.5 RPM and 6.5-300wby have more or less died in thier tracks. I have found elk to take a couple steps before falling over.
