[QUOTE="Dialing Long Distance, post: 2736925, member: 86692"] Since you said you’re thinking of a new build, I would give either the 7Prc, 300Prc, or the 338 Norma serious thought. These cartridges are improvements on what’s already out there. I am a HUGE fan of the 7 mm Remington magnum, and the 300 Winchester magnum, and the 338 Lapua. All of those cases are excellent rounds. That being said, with today’s bullet availability, some of these longer heavier bullets do not seat properly into these long cases, while still fitting into the magazine. The PRC design accommodates this. You can load those longer heavier bullets properly, while still fitting the rounds into your magazine for a repeater. The 338 Norma magnum did to the Lapua, what a Creedmoor did to the Remington 260 in my opinion. I would suggest the 300 Norma also, but barrel life can be an issue with that cartridge. The 338 Norma does not have the short barrel life that the 300 does in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
