[QUOTE="JemezDave, post: 2140431, member: 108070"] I have both and the WM is up for sale. In SAAMI form the PRC is the better cartridge design over the 300 WM. The 300 PRC rounds also feed smoother than do belted cases in push feed actions. These are facts, not opinions. Performance wise the 300WM still hangs in there, but for me the PRC eliminates all the shortfalls and aggravations of the antiquated 300 win mag. It’s not a barrel burner with heavier recoil like the 300 RUM or 30-378 either. The 300 WM theoretically wins in the Ammo availability column though but it’s mostly 180 gr stuff that no one wants(at least I never did). For best long range performance in 30 cal you need to be shooting 215 grain bullets or heavier. In reality your better off with the 300 PRC even from a factory ammo standpoint because no one loads 215’s for the 300WM. Berger did for a short time but saw the folly of their ways and discontinued as far as I know. I bought in to the ammo availability BS and I ended up regretting it-don’t be that guy. Even if you load your own ammo as I do, get the PRC. You will thank me later. [/QUOTE]
