[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2223812, member: 95013"] Speed first. Here is Nosler data directly from their site. This is apples to apples or as close as they list it, with retumbo powder and a 210 grain bullet, max load to maximize speed capability. [LIST] [*]300 WBY = 86.0 grains at 3008 fps [*]30 Nosler = 84.0 grains at 3008 fps [/LIST] So the answer is yes, and perhaps no. No time to look up ALL the data from every maker. Someone else might see some difference. If you are going to hand load, I would likely go with the 30N, more components and things available and a bit less expensive. Accuracy - ANY well built rifle loaded with the right ammunition can and will be accurate. We are talking splitting hairs though. In the end, between the two, flip a coin and shoot what you like [/QUOTE]
