[QUOTE="Another Casual, post: 1693897, member: 89878"] I like my 8 pound w. scope PRC alot, but if you already have a barrel for the 300, I'd go with that. When I had run the numbers I compared energy at 600 yards vs recoil and found that for the specific bullets i was interested in and an 8 pound rifle for each the down range energy around 600 yards was slightly better on the 300 but at the cost of much higher recoil. At a 9 pound rifle with scope I think the recoil would be more manageable. Only other thought to consider would be if the barrel you have would finish at a reasonable length. Anything under 20 inches wouldnt be worth it for me in a WSM. I went 26 on my PRC and I'm glad I did. [/QUOTE]
