[QUOTE="wildcatgoal, post: 2064898, member: 115788"] This decision is easy, to me anyway. If you don't reload or don't want to be beholden to doing so, 300WM -- especially if this is a hunting rifle and/or you are practicing FOR hunting. If you do reload and want to be beholden to reloading, then the 300 PRC comes into play. That opens the door for more accuracy - depending on the shooter - for target shooting (not that a 300 WM can't hit a steel plate a mile away, but the 300 PRC has more potential to be more consistent by design). Honestly, if you're practicing... a 300 WM will open up a lot of available factory ammunition (when it's stocked again), a ton of well-established load data, and that round has taken game at far off distances for decades and decades. And if you get a 300 WM, you can always rebarrel to the 300 PRC when ammo is more prevalent. This coming from someone who only reloads for PRS -- if at all. Reloading for hunting baffles me (other than the desire to be the one that created the round that harvested the animal, which I get). A quality box of Hornady ELD-X Precision Hunter or some other competitive variant will be accurate enough (with practice) to take game far away. [/QUOTE]
