30 nosler life

[kyle1974]

I am getting parts together for a new rifle and considering the 30 nosler. Is there a more recent industry opinion on whether these nosler cartridges will stick around for the long haul?

I would go 300 Mag or 300 Norma. Lots of brass for those. Don't know 30 Nosler will be around in 5 to 10 years but I know the 300 Mag will be around for the next 100 yrs. 300 Norma will be around longer than 30 Nosler just my opinion.

Good thoughts.

That can be balanced with the fact that the barrels on a 30 Nosler don't last very long so if someone builds one, two, five... and then years down the road the brass is impossible to get (a la 7 WSM) they have enough brass life in 150 pieces of brass to wear out the barrel.
