[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 1779504, member: 59541"] Why is it ok to use a .308, 30-06 or 300 WM to hunt deer but not a 300PRC? Especially if you reload. Create some reduced loads with lighter bullets if you feel the need. In my experience I can say that Coues and Mule deer probably don’t need it but Whitetail are some tough animals. I have a 6.5 PRC and have used it on Whitetail and Coues. I have thought about using it on Elk but would limit myself to 400-500 yards. I will be building a 300 PRC for elk size game this year and will have no issues using it on deer as well. I feel it’s more about bullet selection and shot placement. There is no do-it-all rifle or bullet. [/QUOTE]
