I stand by what I said. 10 twist is too slow to run a 212 Barnes and I bet you can't explain why. I don't like the way belted cartridges feed and, just don't like them. That case was adapted from an antique cartridge to make another cartridge. Never said the 300WM was a slouch in the...

I would stick to the more modern or improved cartridges because they have the faster twist rates that will run any bullet like the heaviest solid copper bullets, and they tend to have the right size magazine lengths without a silly belt or the bullets seated way down in the case like the 300WM...

I wouldn’t walk from here to across the street for the difference between a Berger and an SST. If it doesn’t shoot well out of your gun, then there’s your answer.

6.8 W

I have a ridgeline in 300 PRC- no complaints at all I would buy again. Even with an ATACR on it I’m still under 9.5lbs. I think the 300WM is well suited to those lighter bullets. I would recommend the Larry Willis collet die also to deal with the belted case issues that can arise.

No downside to titanium I know of other than cost.

300 prc loaded with 245 grain Berger or 250 A tips. Then when you get back home the 212 are a good elk round. Any custom ammo loader can make you whatever you want if you don’t reload. The 300 PRC is the best for heavy bullets and it out classes the 300WM which I also own. It feeds faster...

In the bullet/ammo world the unit of measure is always weight. No one walks into Walmart and says gimme a box of 1.3” 300PRC rounds. They would say 180 grain Barnes or whatever. The heavier bullet in any caliber will always be LONGER than the lighter bullet. I don’t shoot solids out of my...

.223 all the way. If you reload then the other calibers would be fine-thank me later. No way would I go any other way in these times if I did not hand load. I load my own and still have only .223. My WYLDE chambered AR would work, and I have a bolt action that shoots sub half moa. .223 is a...

I think the 300 weatherby would be an exception to that statement. A lot of people I know run those for elk. Plenty of power for elk unlike the fad overhyped and underpowered 6.5s everyone is buying these days. I would rather have a 264 Win than a creed or a PRC. What I’m saying is a large...

Yes, it is a better option for throwing big pills. I have both, was going to sell the WM but haven’t got around to it yet and enjoy shooting both. I want to compare them a little further. I really like the PRC so far no complaints. I haven’t loaded or shot any 250s yet it hope to this...

Just curious-what did you not like about the stock it came with?

Congrats Glenn on a nice Coues buck! You and your guide did a fantastic job recovering him. My brother carried a 243 Win for years for deer. The rate of twist on the 600 Remington would not stabilize anything heavier than an 87 grain bullet, so that's what I loaded. We hunt mule deer and...

I can't think of a single military or police agency that is using or has chosen the 300 weatherby for a SWAT or sniper role. I'm not saying the bee is not accurate, but it's doesn't quite shine like the WM in the accuracy department, and this is well demonstrated anywhere in history you care to...

A lot can be said of the .270, but over rated isn’t one of them.
