In my experience rifles that are sighted in for one person don't necessarily shoot to the same poi for another person. Do it yourself

It's basically an improved 300win mag, the 300wm isn't exactly the go to cartridge for NZ hunting so the 300PRC hasn't really taken off. The 6.5PRC and 7PRC are both far better choices for NZ...

30cal projectiles are easy to get and ADI powders work well so I’m a fan. 215, 230 and 245 bergers are all sweet projectiles so god knows why all the hate. Once suppressed the recoil is lighter...

Its not registered to be used on deer as a targeted primary poison. Simply, it is illegal. That though does not dismiss by-kill of deer which of course does occur. The use of repellent greatly...

I load them in my T3. Long action bolt face and mag, and a 1:9 twist barrel. With a short action 1:11 twist, you won't be able to.

Currently run 168gn eldm's in my 22" 308 @ 2622fps they are devestating on reds and were super easy to get shooting. I have a couple boxes of 178gn eldx which are meant to perform even better at...

In answer to a question that you didn’t actually ask.. Yes you should reload for it. Find a consistent load, like a 1 moa on a bad day load. Then find a better load, then try some other projectile...

The powder that gives the highest velocity in a long barrel will also give the highest velocity in a short barrel, so powder choice is the same as what you'd usually pick.

Yes at a pinch it will work, but a 16" 308 isn't the best tool for the job for 500m shooting, 500m is a loooong way for hunting. On paper it will work energy wise, but wind will be the real kicker...
