[QUOTE="SubMOAinthesheets, post: 1802598, member: 112695"] Long time lurker of LRH and just joined. Looking for some opinions on a short barreled 300 PRC I want to build. I’m wanting to build a 20-22” 300 PRC for my go to “western” hunting rig. I have a 6.5 CM with a 22” proof research barrel on a trued R700, laid in a manners EH6-A stock that I use for mule deer and below. This 300PRC would be built off a Big Horn action and am looking at another proof barrel. I plan on this being my mule deer and above gun. My question is, besides lower velocities, what are the biggest downfalls to a shorter barrel in a big round like the 300 PRC. How much would that shorter barrel effect accuracy out to 700-800 yards? Also, twist rates suggested? One caveat, I plan on running a can on this rifle. Realistically I want this rifle to be light and compact/packable in the back country and be able to take an elk size animal at 700 yards. What are your thoughts or experience. [/QUOTE]
