[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2280582, member: 65338"] The 300 PRC is derived from necking down the 375 Ruger case which was also developed by Hornady and has been around for quite some time now. The 6.5 PRC is just a shortened necked down 375 Ruger. Though the 300 PRC is very slightly smaller than the Nosler Jeffrey cases, it is very close in performance. PRC will push 215gr Berger to 3100 fps just like the Nosler. I run the 375 Ruger necked down to 338 cal (338-375 Ruger) for a long time. Long before the PRCs came into being. It can hit over 3000 fps with 250gr Berger bullets from a 26” barrel and very accurate. So rounds based on the 375 Ruger case are no slouches by any means especially when you consider that factory ammo for the 338 Lapua using 250gr bullets is listed at 2850 fps. And now with ADG and Lapua making PRC brass, the 300 PRC or variants from that case are a good choice for a powerful and accurate long range round. Here is a photo of my 338-375 Ruger case necked up and fireformed compared to a virgin piece of ADG 300 PRC brass on the left that I use to make the rounds.
