Thread: 300 PRC why hasnt it achieved greater popularity ?

Yep, ran x5 boxes of hornady precision match through it to get brass when I first got it.
Now running Lapua brass and 230gr Atips.
Will have to double check my coal when I get home

I see, after a bit more internetting, that rifle manufacturers have indeed been making 300WM models with 3.7” actions for a while. Even our favourite brand had 3.7+” magazines in the 75 and 85 as posted here. Of course magazine length doesnt always equate to useable length but its likely the Sako 90 could be chambered in 300 PRC.

why doest everyone drive a ford f150???? its about the same....

Hmmm not 100 yet but the 7x57 is over a 120 and counting

Here are some reasons that compelled me to go this way.

Cheap and cheerful entry to gong shooting.

Howa makes a cheap entry level rifle or barrelled action that shoots well out of the box

It fits in long action aftermarket chassis and stocks.

Factory twist stabilises 230gn pills to great effect at near 2900fps

Ballistic coefficient on those Dosent give anything up to a 338 cal.

Cartridge design has more inherent precision than a win mag or etc.

Decent suppressor calms most of the recoil, but mind these rigs are made for shooting prone which also helps, as does the big optic system and a bit of weight in the chassis.

Have had youth and smaller adults on target at distance within two-three rounds and no flinch.

Have taken a couple of animals with mine to great effect as it retains huge energy downrange.

All of that said, unless you want/need to reach out good distance there are easier, probably cheaper routes to go.

Pay to play.
