[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2320073, member: 54178"] I sold my .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker because I bought a 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro. BUT, If I wanted something like the very good .300 Win mag these days I'd choose the 300PRC because it has several reloading and head spacing advantages. 1. The 300 PRC can load longer (heavier) bullets without compressing the powder charge due to its longer neck. 2. The 300 PRC is headspace off the shoulder and NOT the belt as with the .300 Win mag. (more consistent) 3. The US Army Marksmanship Training Unit and Hornady worked together developing the 300 PRC as an improvement on the .300 Win mag. 4. The 300 PRC cartridge shape is a bit better shaped (steeper shoulder angle and water powder case) for better, more consistent combustion. These are the reasons I'd choose the 300 PRC. [/QUOTE]
