Thread: Browning X bolt Hells Canyon Speed

I used 450yrds. I would consider that the max range the rifle will be used on an animal.
Very rare not to be able to get closer where we hunt Thar and chamois. It is also rare for people I hunt with to be comfortable taking an animal beyond 300yrds.

Not much difference on the dial with the PRC an MOA less at 5.2 opposed to 6.2 in my rifle.

But the PRC hits 200fps faster and over 300 ft-lbs harder.

for interest sake I will give you the 270WSM data when I get home in the morning for the same distance.
