30 nosler vs 300 wm

[blackbeard]

i am rebarrelling my wm. so I have all the reloading components already My question is, is anyone shooting the 30 nosler for long range target/steel? is there much difference between the two with 200gr plus bullets.

Never had a 300 Nosler yet BUT the 300 Win Mag is a HARD catridge to beat shooting out there yonder with 200 gr-ers and since you already have the loading dies - brass etc i would stay with the 300 Winny ! jmo RJ

Do you need to go mag fed?
My 300WM col is 3.710 with 200 accubound out of a 28" pipe@3035 fps. They feed well from a acumag 3.775

Decided to go with the 300 wm. The main reason was that brass is $4/ pc. Maybe when i have to rebarrel again i will look into the 30 nosler then.

Hard to beat the .300 Win. Too boring for some and too much for others; but its hard to find a situation where it isn't a first class choice.

300 Norma is getting some attention these days as well.

The 300 Winchester Magnum is the way to go, unless, for some reason you want to avoid that particular chambering.
I personally favor the 308 Norma Magnum, but it is a ballistic twin to the 300 Win, so it's a moot point.
My reasons are multiple.....I have been shooting he 308 NM since 1965, I like the slightly longer neck of the Norma design.
I also have several rifles so chambered. I have enough components [Brass] to last this plus another lifetime, lol.
The 300 WM, and the 308 NM are both very accurate chamberings, and have enough power to take any game in N.A.
plus most of the world. OP, Of the two you mentioned, the 300 Win Mag gets my nod. D.
