[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1570124, member: 54178"] I suggest you look closely at the new Hornady 300 PRC. Hornady saw the design/performance drawbacks of the .300 win mag, 300 Norma mag, 30 Nosler and others then designed the 30 PRC cartridge to overcome these problems. The problems ranged from the difficulties in head spacing a belted magnum to the too short necks of most of the .30 magnums making it hard to accommodate long bullets, to the "overbore" of huge cartridge case capacity (like the 300 RUM) resulting in powder still burning in the throat of the barrel. The US Army is now testing the 300 PRC for use in their sniper rifles. There are testing it in a special run of Barrett MRAD rifles. As well Hornady is making a special run of Army designated cartridges for this test. If adopted the 300 PRC would replace the .300 Win mag in current use. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
