[QUOTE="Stetson05, post: 2424738, member: 115515"] Great info! I love getting all these perspectives. I'm going to say 300PRC which I've loaded for but I'd actually prefer the idea of a 30 Sherman. There are several reasons for my opinion specifically due to reloading. 30-06 shoots great but is slow and inefficient to today's standards. I think 308 is even worse. (Personal opinion). 300wm is good but my rifles don't like the heavies so I'm at 180gr with a 500 bc. There are so many nicer long range bullets out there. 300PRC is easy to tune with heavy bullets. Great velocity. Brass was half the cost of the 300 RUM or the Norma Mag. Step up the case to a Sherman with fire forming and you get even better velocity. Great velocity, affordable brass, less powder than others, high BC bullets. I've got a 300 RUM in Rem 700. Great velocity! My gun won't stabilize heavy for caliber bullets so I'm stuck shooting 150gr. Tons of powder expended. Brass life is low, 3 times max without annealing. Brass is expensive and was hard to find during the good years, harder now. 300 Norma has great stats but brass is twice as much as 300PRC and that adds up. 30 Sherman closes the gap on the stats. My next rifle should be a 30 Sherman built on my 300 RUM action for great velocity with heavy bullets reasonable powder quantity and affordable brass. [/QUOTE]
