How long of a barrel are you running? I didn't think a 300 PRC was capable of those velocities with those heavy bullets.I shoot the 245 bergers and 250 Atips out of my prc . The 245's are at 2940fps

how is your brass? that is like 5 grains over book data.26" Mesa LR. 82.3gr n570 3.7 coal. Tmb tuner
Very nice ! Now you'll have me considering the Mesa for the next 300 PRC. About .75 MOA is about as good as I could get my Bergara.I've don't have any pics from past 200 but this is finished at 200. Shot it to 1k is furthest I've shot it
It's not great. This was Bergers recommended max. It's a hunting load and tracks perfectly to 1000. I shoot the 250's way slower for target and plinking. ADG brass for hunting, Hornady for targethow is your brass? that is like 5 grains over book data.
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 winter. This leaves the WM filling a niche I no longer need. The 8 twist on the PRC…jeez I can't wait to try those!Hello all
I was wondering who has experience with the 300 PRC. What are your thoughts and opinions about it? Is it a better option than a 300 win mag for hunting and shooting longer distances? Do you think it will be a cartridge that will stay long term or is it just another fad that will fade out and be hell to find ammo for?
I shoot those same pills out of my 300 RUM right around 100fps faster, with a brake from KS arms and recoil isn't bad at all. If the ground will allow for it I don't have issues seeing impacts.The only drawback that I've found pushing the bigger bullets fast is the recoil. I'm able to see dust fly but it's literally knocked my earmuffs off my head if I'm relaxing and trying to spot my impacts. The Mesa LR is on the heavy side and I have the heavy vortex gen2 plus the tmb tuner is heavy and reduces the recoil pretty good. I wouldn't want to pack this combination around in some extreme fashion. I might try some lighter solids in the future
That was my opinion to. I have my 300 RUM shooting the 245's and they work great. I kind of cant wait to burn this barrel out so I can go to a 338 edge.If you want to shoot heavy bullets, step into the 338. The extra 50 grains makes a world of difference in wind and recoil isn't much greater. IMO, the 300 PRC isn't a cartridge for the 250s anyway. I think the next step up would be best. The 300 NM, 300 RUM, 300 WBY or Nosler maybe. The 230s seem to be the heaviest for the 300 PRC for optimum performance. Just my opinion tho.
I was just thinking about first round hits today. I think that is the true measure of a LR marksman. Anybody can dilly dally until they hit. Good on you!So far, I haven't missed a first round shot at 1000
