[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2922463, member: 104268"] Any appropriate 7mm or 30 cal bullet at ≥3000 ftlbs of muzzle energy will smoke an elk at 400 yards. [USER=116181]@QuietTexan[/USER] is pretty much spot on regarding the belt. The belt adds nothing, and does subtract some case capacity. That said, if you're a reloader, getting 7PRC, 280 AI, or 300 PRC brass is SUBSTANTIALLY more challenging and spendy than getting 7 Rem Mag or 300 Win, unless you are set on getting Peterson/ADG, in which case it's a wash. Also, there are far more rifle options and factory ammo available for the venerable old belted mags than the new 7 and 300 PRC's or 280 AI With a good bullet and shot placement, there is no discernible difference in 400 yard elk stomping performance between the 7 Rem Mag, 7 PRC, 300 Win Mag, or 300 PRC in my opinion. FWIW, as a hand loader and semi-custom rifle "tinkerer", my next gun will almost certainly be a 7 PRC, as it's objectively better than the 7 Rem Mag if factory rifle/ammo availability is not a concern.
