Thread: 300 PRC thoughts for a new guy

Kind of new to the hunting scene, but have been shooting on and off for a good while. I want to buy a rifle (can afford only one at this point) that will serve me well for target shooting and deer hunting (tops ideally). Have been considering a 300 PRC which would be great long distance cartridge at the range, but I don’t know how it would be as a hunting round. Is it too much for deer that are, say, at 100m? Will it be too powerful to open up in the deer and just go right through and only wound? Advice and suggestions welcomed heartily.
