[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1779622, member: 9299"] Personally, given the criteria you listed with possible future larger animals and if your firearm inventory is "very limited", I would not consider the 300PRC "overkill" for deer sized animals at 300-600yds. However with an inventory that is more diverse and after many years of using most everything on deer and aging shoulders, I lean more toward the fast 6's, 25's, 6.5's, 7mm's, etc. I have used a 6AI with 105's to take deer and similar sized animals past 800yds with 100-105's taking numerous in the 4-650 range. Your abilities are more important than the caliber, "within reason". If one desires, The 300's can be loaded down to reduce recoil, loaded with 130 TTSX for fast lower recoil deer loads, etc, etc. [/QUOTE]
