[QUOTE="Willybuck, post: 2585392, member: 113591"] Hmm! PRC is the new kid on the block. The 300 Weatherby has been around since the late1940’s. Fast 30 cals. Are very versatile especially with 1 in 10 twist or faster. Bought a 300 Weatherby Mark V for my uncle in 1972 and I have had it back with me since 1984. Very effective round as I have used it on game from elk and kudu and black bear to deer. Bought a new 300 Weatherby Mark V Accumark last year for less than $2k. The Accumark has so many custom type features without having to find a rifle and tearing it apart and rebuilding to your specifications. Some of the features include 1 in 10 twist 26 inch threaded and fluted SS barrel with Accubreak ST Muzzle Break, Trigger Tech Field, hand laid fiberglass stock with aluminum bedding blocks Matt gel coat and spider web accents, I have shot it at 600m with very good results. I currently don’t know where there is a 1000 yard range near me that I can use. If you go to the accurateshooter.com website and look up Ken Bruckner Sets 1000 yard Score Record you will see he uses a 300 Weatherby. Ken’s record was beaten by .089 inch buy Joel Pendergraft. Interesting read. I have not looked up Joel’s record to see what cartridge he used. Ken’s barrel is a 1 in 10 twist and he shoots 240 grain bullets. He uses H4831sc powder. [/QUOTE]
