[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2282257, member: 36999"] The .300 PRC has one advantage over the .300 Win Mag, I can buy non custom rifles with the correct twist and I don’t have to handload to shoot the 212gr ELD-X/225gr ELD-M. That being said I do both which is why I have multiple .300 Win Mags and zero .300 PRC. If the 30 Nosler had fixed the COAL and twist rate shortcomings of the .300 win mag then the PRC wouldn’t even exist but all they did was remove the belt while leaving the 3.34 COAL and 10 twist barrels leaving the door wide open for Hornady. As for the 6.5-284, as I understand it there are two different standards, the Winchester and the Norma, each with a different throat configuration that lends themselves to different types of bullets. Advanced shooters and reloader such as most of the people on this site can figure out the difference but we are the minority by far. Rather than deal with that headache it was simpler and more cost effective for Hornady to introduce a different cartridge correctly speced out to meet their requirements. Heck Winchester literally took their own not even 20 year old cartridge, modernized it with a fast twist and slightly better geometry to better handle long range bullets and rereleased it as the 6.8 Western.
