[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1725545, member: 26535"] They both have the same cartridge OAL so the magazine limitations will be identical and both will fit in a Wyatt box. The Nosler has more case capacity. The PRC is ~97 grains H20, The Nosler is ~99 with Nosler brass, ~100 with Bertram and ~101 with ADG. The Nosler will average 50-100 FPS more velocity all else being equal. The Nosler has three better brass options(not a huge issue to me as I believe the PRC will catch up). The barrel life difference will be negligible. Even the SAAMI Nosler chamber has enough room for shorter bearing surface bullets such as the 215 Berger, which have been proven to be one of the most effective large game bullets ever. When throated properly the Nosler increases it's advantage over the PRC. The bottom line is you can't argue with physics. I would tell you the RUM is better but it his hamstrung by the magazine issue. It will barely fit in a 4" magazine and they are very difficult to get to feed properly and require a lot more work in general. The RUM is still a great cartridge when loaded at 3.850" to fit a standard Wyatt box but the Nosler is very close with less hassle. The Nosler is very easy to tune. I believe the PRC will be too(mine sure was not). The entire rebated rim/non rebated rim discussion is a non issue. Both feed from properly tuned mag boxes the same.
