[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 3045626, member: 101859"] I was running a 230 with 82.3 grains of N570 in a 28" barrel. 3000 fps. The Nosler case is not big enough to get to the next accuracy node which would probably be around 3080 fps. Most all of my Noslers ran a 215 about 3080-3100 in a 26". So yes, the PRC case and Nosler case are close enough that you will see very similar performance. What you have to know when increasing a case volume is, you have to go big enough to get to the next node. For example, Before we had ADG brass I came up with the 30-28 nosler to reduce pressures over the 30 Nosler so the brass would last. I didnt get more velocity, just lower pressures. The increase in volume was not enough to get to the next accuracy node. Now, you will be running higher pressures in the smaller case to run with the larger case. I like both the PRC and Nosler cases. You cant make a bad choice. [/QUOTE]
