[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1536182, member: 30902"] I would lean towards the 30 PRC solely because I like the case design better. With the popularity of the 6.5PRC the 30 is going to take off like wildfire as well. That being the case, there will be alternatives to Hornady Brass on the market sooner rather than later. Performance wise there's not enough difference in them to matter. Personally if I were building or buying another .30 caliber though I'd stick with either the .300wm or step right up to the .300 Rum. Let the other two sort the market out for five or ten years while shooting the gold standards and then see which of the two nebies on the block has the same kind of staying power as they rounds they are attempting to better or emulate. Unlike the 6.5 PRC which is based off of the .30RCM case, the .30 PRC is just a .375 Ruger necked down to .30 caliber so standard actions will be able to utilize it with very little or no modifications. The Nosler is based off of the .404 Jefferey case so actions not built for Rum's will require a fair bit of work to get them to cycle properly and for the case to fit through the feed rails. Since Nosler beat them to the punch I suspect the .30 Nosler will be the eventual winner but with it being so much easier and less expensive to convert to the 30 PRC with a standard action I may be wrong.
