Default 27 Nosler

Just wondering if anyone has first hand experience with the 27 Nosler. Split between the 27 Nosler and the 6.5 PRC, I already have the normal suggestions everyone has; just looking for a sweet light mountain rifle and so far these are my top 2.

Thanks

Problem with both will be ammo availability
The nosler will have more hp that’s for sure
There has been some new bullets in 277 cal that have come out which have revived it a bunch in terms of higher bc
Both will perform at long range
What are you intending to use it for?

that's pretty good considering it's year one for the prc (2020 shot show release), usually we Canucks would be waiting a year or two for the USA demand to settle down a bit

If you want horsepower and reach go to the 28 Nosler rather than the 27. Very similar the the 7 STW or 7 RUM so WAY better selection of high B.C. bullets that are also good hunting bullets.
