[QUOTE="baskhunter, post: 1693830, member: 72102"] Apples vs Oranges I know, not very similar cartridges but hear me out. I want to build a decent all around rifle(mostly mule deer and elk every other year) for backpacking and am wanting to keep the weight around 9ish pounds. To me that is a decent weight for shoot-ability and pack-ability. I have a trued up Remington 700 short action with a magnum bolt face. I picked up a fluted Bartlein #3 chambered in 308 [URL='https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/300wsm-or-6-5-prc.139177/#']win[/URL](only 200 rounds through it) awhile back from a close friend for dirt cheap(shot fine but he decided to go a different caliber). I was thinking about just having the 308 barrel punched out to 300wsm gunsmith said it should be pretty easy to do but the 6.5 prc has caught my attention as of late. So what do you guys think I should do, go with the wsm or buy a new barrel and go prc?? I posted this on Rokslide as well but was curious to see what you all had to say. [/QUOTE]
