[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1920225, member: 113501"] The "real gunsmith" is an idiot. If he says something and gets 20 people to back him up, I'm still looking for a 21'st opinion. I think mail order ammo is fine for a hunting rifle. You are probably not going to do much target shooting so it's easy to stock up with a couple hundred rounds and restock when you fall much below 100. This makes me think 300PRC is a good choice. When you are going to shoot a mile and want the power to take large North American game at 700 yards, I think .30 is going to be better on game at 700 yards and PRC will get you to a mile pretty easy. 300WM might be good also. I shy away from it because of the belted case and i would want to reload. Your situation might make ammo availability be a bigger factor. [/QUOTE]
