[QUOTE="7070yshot, post: 2459021, member: 114427"] I have experience with both at those distances. The 300PRC is going to be able to deliver a Heavier bullet but let’s say you loaded both with 190g bullet. The 300PRC Will sling that at 3100-3200 no problem. Serious smack down at 1200y 28 Nos will be a tick slower at the 3000-3050 range I’m talking about a conservative load on each not pushing the limits which you could easily do. I’ve been very impressed at what the impacts look like on steel out to 1200y with both. If you used A-Tips both will hit A mile. Now with all that said the 300PRC can send a 230g A-tip past a mile (around 1850 at my elevation/location) and still be supersonic. The 28 Nos can do that but only with a 190g A-Tip. A 175g at 3200fps will still barely be supersonic at 1760, again my location. I love the 175g ELD-X and it runs great anywhere on 3000-3200. I haven’t pushed it faster but it could go faster but I don’t think it’s necessary with that bullet. I would not bother with lighter bullets in the 28NOS, except for the Barnes 168g LRX or 175 TSX. Just my experience for what it’s worth. Economically 300PRC barely more cost effective. Bullet choice: 300PRC. Lastly, don’t go with some pencil thin barrel on either but definitely not the 28 NOS. More metal is your friend. Again from experiences [/QUOTE]
