[QUOTE="hugheserj, post: 2194866, member: 107759"] I just had a 30 Nosler built and went through a pretty detailed evaluation against the PRC before making a choice. I handload so factory ammo wasn't a consideration. Ultimately, I went with the 30 Nosler to replace my 300WM. My rifle was chambered with a custom reamer with 220 freebore and with AGD brass went over 3100fps with 215 Bergers without showing pressure signs. For accuracy and ES I've found it prefers 230gr Berger OTMs around the 3000fps mark. Overall it seems to run 150-200fps faster than my 300WM. Is that enough to really warrant the new cartridge, well I don't think the game I hunt will notice, but it sure is a pretty cool cartridge! For someone wanting to shoot 30 cal with factory ammo or get something easier to get into reloading with more brass options I'd struggle to steer them away from the 300WM unless they had a real need for the extra velocity.
