[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2102425, member: 103947"] Better is a relative term. Better in what way ? It's also a personal decision based on a number of reasons. Price of brass a factor. Availability is another. Seems like today most shooters looking for a new cartridge are looking forward not backward. The newest 30's aren't the Weatherby's or Win mags. Nosler and PRC are the new kids on the block. The new big kid is the 300 NM and it's improved version is gaining popularity big time. Sherman's magnums are another and one I'll soon be building. If I had to pick one as the better of all, I couldn't. Being so close in performance that it's a matter of personal choice. All things being relatively equal, I chose the 30 Sherman magnum simply because it's not a common cartridge yet. Requires forming brass and specialty loading dies. That's what my reason for it was. I prefer non-common cartridges over standard(on the shelf) cartridges. Brass availability is important and several of the 30 cartridges have many options. Not sure about Weatherby but I'm assuming only Weatherby offers it. Hard to keep up. [/QUOTE]
