Thinking about having a 300 PRC built. Main purpose would be Elk and Bear.

Edit: I also want the ability to buy factory ammo.

Yes. I know just the guy to build it. Scott Weichel just finished one last week.
Posted By: kingston Re: Yes or No - 07/01/19
That said, the ultimate 30 right now might be Ryan Pierce's 300 Norma Improved.

Scott just finished this for me.

It’s the sixth rifle he has built me and all shoot under .5. Even the 338 edge.
Not to mention the dozens he has built for pards that do the same.

Hope you do it MCH. I have a 1-8 #2 Krieger in the safe thinking about doing the same thing.

Great choice imo...

Not much chance of finding 300 Prick ammo in various rural locales now, let alone in five years when it's likely to have lost the new cartridge luster and dropped in popularity.
If factory ammo was a deciding factor and searching for a fire breather, I'd be in 7 Rem or 300 Win mode, if stuck on a 30 caliber.

Factory ammo I’d go 300WIN or 300RUM.

That's some good shooting right there.

2¢ but the 300 RUM with the new Atips would be a 🍑.

250grain G1 BC .878 G7 .442. That at 2850+ would be awesome.

I could dig that myself. I’ve got a 1-10 twist 300 Ultra now that does great with 220 Scenars. Better shaped Bullets out there but I have a bunch. Now, if I rebarrel, it’ll get an 8 twist barrel and that might be a prime candidate.

I can buy enough now that I won't have to worry about that. Not worried about buying in rural area's. Can reload the brass at that point. I am not stuck on anything at this point.

I’m loving it. Gonna kill antelope and a whitetail with it this fall.

Had it out to 1150 last night. Just keeps impressing me every time I get behind it.

RUM only thing belt less that will push the big stuff fast enough to beat the 28 Nosler. 😉

As you know, it's built to handle the long skinnys without any mods, I'd go prc with 225's.... there's one in my future...

Bullets matter wayyyyyyyy more than headstamps.

Hint.................
Posted By: Sheister Re: Yes or No - 07/05/19
What twist do those 225's need? Thinking about trying them in my 300 H&H Improved....

I don't care what the headstamp is, I just want a bigger round than the 6.5 that will shoot relatively flat heavies.
