[QUOTE="skookum, post: 2024788, member: 38521"] Theres a great article about this very dilemma on Rokslide. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rokslide.com/battle-of-the-30-cals/[/URL] I was going through this as well last year. Not sure why the 300 PRC is so great when its just a redesigned, better advertised 300wm. The whole belt debacle i think it largely overplayed. The 30 Nosler has identical case capacity as the 300 Weatherby with much better brass options and a more efficient powder column. With a longer throat for big bullets you can get ballistics close to a RUM and burn 20 grains of powder less per shot. Though all 3 you're comparing are relatively close and will equate to spinning a turret a few more or less clicks at distance. My 30 Nosler that was just finished is pushing a 225 ELD-M at 2875 with a low pressure load and a new barrel and thats creating 4100ft/lbs at the muzzle. [/QUOTE]
