I have a friend who’s building a 300 PRC so he can shoot elk 1000 yards.
He is an archery guy but wants a Long range gun. I tried to tell him to start off small like 6.5CM to hone his shooting skills for fraction of the price. It fell on deaf ears.
start out with a .223
This. A fast-twist 223 is an ideal setup to learn to shoot both long and short. Perfect for learning trajectory, wind reading, etc. Low recoil, low priced ammo.
223 is a one of my favorites. He doesn’t re load and finding the heavier pills might not be the easiest. I do agree it’s the most economical way to learn.
Yet the 6.5.... before all this, I was getting S&B 140 fmj for 10.99 a box.
Also, I figure with 6.5 he can do target, deer and elk with in reasonable distances.
Doesn’t matter. He’s having a 300 built
