Cartridges Listed:

6.5 Creedmoor
6.5PRC
26 Nosler
280AI
7mm Rem Mag
28 Nosler
308 Win
300PRC
300Win
270 Win

There are several old cartridges that have been used for decades..7mm Rem Mag,.308, 300Win and
.270W to name a few..And some newer ones that are hell on wheels for today's shooter who wants to make long shots..

I've used the 28 Nosler for elk the past 5 years..What the 7mm Rem Mag does, the 28 does better ...same bullet just faster..I've used a 300 & 338RUM for almost 20 years..checked the barrel on my 300RUM, gunsmith told me it still had at least half its life left...For the hunter, most will last a lifetime and then some..The reason I state this is I always hear the same old BS that they are hard on barrels.. MAYBE if you are using it in competition but not if you are a hunter..

I am not a fan of the 26Nosler..have had 2..too finicky for me and franky I like the 6.5PRC better...

For out to 1200 yards on steel the Creedmoor works great..have shot hundreds and hundreds of these on steel..great little cartridge and crazy accurate.

Love the 280AI.. fantastic caliber for anything in the US and otherwise..have been using one for sheep and ibex hunting around the planet for the last 20 years plus. Inherently accurate and flat shooting..

The 300Win.,7mm Rem Mag, .308W and 270W have been around for over 60 years or more.. so its hardly playing to "new" calibers and markets...
