[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1956802, member: 66917"] There are several threads on this subject on this site. From a basic SAAMI view, the Nosler is designed like previous cartridges to shoot traditional weight 30 call bullets where the 300 PRC SAAMI spec was set up to allow heavy for caliber bullets to be easily used in a stock 300 PRC. Now of course a custom chamber can short circuit this advantage the SAAMI spec gives the PRC, but then you will maybe be affecting your rifles ability to shoot 30 Nosler factory ammo accurately as the ogives will be a mile off the lands. So, if your a hand loader and you want the most long range performance, the Nos has a little more gas than the PRC, do a custom 30 Nosler chamber to handle the new long 30 call bullets and don't look back. If you want to shoot factory stuff and hand loads and get great long range performance from both, make sure your magazine is 3.7+ inches, a 3.8 would be best, and build a 300 PRC. Or, build one of the other super 30s like a Norma. Personally I'd go for a PRC because I like Hornady and I like the potential flexibility of both factory and hand loads shooting great. I see people on a FB group getting great accuracy out of the PRC as well. [/QUOTE]
