There is absolutely zero anything intriguing about the 300 PRC .. Comparing to established 30 caliber cartridges it has nothing of value to offer other than dependence on factory ammo .......
Hornady hype has created a buzz about an inferior cartridge design as some sort of superior "modern" design, nothing modern about it, sure the belt is gone but case diameter is skinnier than the WSM, RUM & NOS cases which we all know are FAR better in terms of case capacity and efficiency
Some guys cite the "military" adopting it for use, that means absolutely squat ! all that means is the .gov got the lowest bidder with the cheapest product that can be mass produced cheap enough so the manufacturer (Hornady) can still make a ton of $$$ .....
Some other guys will bring up Lapua brass in PRC ...... Well, it's also available in 300 Win Mag and better yet in 300 Norma Mag, which is a far superior cartridge to the PRC and you don't need to run it at 75K psi to get velocity higher than the 300 Win Mag
The 30 Nosler is a vastly superior case design vs the 300 PRC, it's shorter, fatter has similar case capacity and I can bet it will produce higher velocities if pumped up to 75K psi like the PRC boys do to show off some speed, only to tone it down to 300 WM vel. then proclaim how good brass life is ......,.
I've studied the PRC, Nosler, Norma cases and have determined that the bulk of the 300 PRC's popularity has nothing to do with it's performance vs the other two, most of it's fame is directly attributed to massive hype about it's supposed superiority as a long range cartridge ....
Lot's of folks got blindsided by bs from an unscrupulous manufacturer
