Was my choice the right one

[Fariss]

Im new to the LRS so please be kind. I ordered 2 guns one 300 norma mag and one 6.5 PRC for hunting and ringing steel. Shouldnt be to much longer my 300 should be getting finshed and then around six month's on the 6.5.

What are the details of the guns?

 

[Fariss]

300 nm is being built on a kelbley action and proof research barrel. The prc is a borden action and a 28 inch krieger barrel

Sounds like good choices. They should be fine rifles capable of just about anything.

Are you looking for a stamp of approval for the caliber choices you made?
I am going to assume that this is what you are wanting.
Personally I think the 6.5 PRC is a great choice for doing both. If you are wanting to kill elk beyond 800 yards then I would have chosen something in a 7mm Remington Magnum, 28 Nosler or 300 RUM. But we are all personalized in our thinking here so brace yourself for a barrage of other's preferences.
In the meantime, welcome to LRH!

Horrible choice! You'll need to try again a few more times, because we're all experts and told you so (at least that's what you tell your wife). You're welcome.

Thats where the 300 norma should take over

You really have just about all based covered here. Get away from the mental anguish associated with making these decisions and stick to your guns ( yes, pun intended). Reloading opens up options, but factory offerings in both can be good. Get good glass and rock and roll.

All good choices. Don't let anyone rain on your parade.

Have to reload for the 300 norma its an improved version no available loads for it

Have you thoroughly researched scope choices yet? Whatever you do, don't short-change yourself with the glass that you put on those fine custom rifles. But buy smart so that it only hurts the checkbook once....

One is getting NF nx8 and one gets a leupold vx6

Good. I agonized for months over my last scope purchase. Mainly because my pockets weren't deep enough to spend heavy. So I had to wring everything I could out of the pricetag...lol.
