Has anyone done any comparisons between the 30 Nosler and the 30-28 Nosler Wildcat that was done by members of this site last year. Are there any advantages of going with the Wildcat over the standard version?

Even under good conditions,
Some shooters like that it does not have a belt near the base of its brass case as does the Win Mag. This belt has troubled some who reload.
It seems like the 30 Nosler fits in between the 300 weatherby and the 300 rum as far as velocity goes. However both the 300 weatherby and the 300 rum are too long to chase the lands with high BC bullets in standard length actions. The 30 Nosler is intended to be the best compromise of case capacity and overall length for standard length magnum bolt face actions.
The issue with the RUM even in a CFE-9 you will compromise seating depth to run through a mag, you have no room to chase the lands with a 230 Berger which is thee bullet to shoot for long range from a RUM if your wanting to get the most out of it. So with a little better seating position the Nosler may put a guy in a very strong position both in velocity and seating position. Very similar to running a 300 Norma Mag without the Lapua bolt face!

Good point but I don't think we've had "good conditions) for seven years. The panic buying we have all been doing, myself included, are mainly responsible for shortages in components, IMHO.
For those reloaders who are concerned, at the time of purchasing a new rifle -- buying enough brass to last the barrel's life is one way to handle the issue.
