30 NOSLER OR 300 PRC

[L.Sherm]

it was designed to be able to shoot heavy for caliber, high BC bullets out of a factory spec rifle. I

Wont fit in a tikka, Ruger or any other factory gun with factory ammo that has less than a 3.7 mag box.

 

[L.Sherm]

If you think about it the 30 Nosler fits the factory gun, factory ammo bill with its 3.4 length

But it doesn't perform that well with +200 grain bullets at 3.4" that's why everyone uses custom chambers and hand loads.

Exactly, even more directly all three were developed for the Precision Rifle Competition Crowd and Tactical Rifle competition shooters.

They were not designed or marketed to takeover any part of the hunting market.

You better let Hornady and Nosler know this so they can get ALL of the hunting ammo on the shelves pulled!!!

The 300 PRC must work ok in a Ruger:

You weren't talking custom or performance,theres very few bone stock factory guns that PRC ammo will fit.
If you wanna talk pure performance then 30 Nosler with everthing being equal

Not all Rugers in there RPR line because of the mag box.

Just to be clear, are you saying that factory 30 Nosler ammo will out perform factory 300 PRC ammo out of similar factory rifles? Or are you saying if you loaded the same bullets at the same oal the Nosler would out perform the PRC?

 

[L.Sherm]

Right from Hornandys site 300 PRC
2860fps with 212 bullet 24" barrel
30 Nosler from Nosler data slowest load
2910 FPS with 210 bullet 26" barrel
Which factory ammo out performs there other?
Which one will fit just about if not all factory rifles with factory ammo?

Just to be clear, are you saying that factory 30 Nosler ammo will out perform factory 300 PRC ammo out of similar factory rifles? Or are you saying if you loaded the same bullets at the same oal the Nosler would out perform the PRC?

There is no question the 30 Nosler will out perform the 300 PRC with same barrel length same weight bullet and same freebore reamer

 

[L.Sherm]

Nosler claims there 30 Nosler factory ammo 210 is 3000FPS

 

[gregsjt]

How many factory rifles are chambered in 30 Nosler? Does Nosler offer factory ammo in anything heavier than 210? How much does a box of factory Nosler cost?

Lots of hairs being splitted. RUM is the original and best easy big .30. mtmuley

Hey I'm just comparing apples to apples.
Unless you buy a remington or Ruger RPR I dont know of any other factory rifle.
