[QUOTE="Txcowboy50, post: 2868300, member: 118571"] I agree and I love the 6.5 PRC, but like I said, it is more of a hobby and I want to see what the 300wsm will do. I built a rifle with a Zermatt T3 action and Proof prefit CF barrel. I am simply changing the barrel. That being said my hunting load for the 6.5 prc is156 gr Berger EH over H1000. They have a mv of 2950 and at 500yd 2297 ft/sec and 1828 ft-lb of energy according to Berger Ballistic Calculator. This round is a consistently shoots less than 1/2 moa. The 300WSN loaded with 195 gr Berger EH @2870 has a velocity of 2290 ft/sec and 2270 ft-lbs of energy; that nearly 25% more energy down range. Hopefully with tweaking I can get the accuracy to less than 1/2 moa at range. Only breaking in the barrel with Federal premium 185 berger VLD at stated mv of 2950ft/sec. First shots one ragged hole. I could not believe it. Maybe I will forget reloading. [/QUOTE]
