[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 1943055, member: 110890"] And to follow-up on my previous post, I'll clarify that with having both options available, I'll take my 7-LRM if going for elk. Like the majority of posters are saying, it's going to cover more variables pushing a 180 or 195 gr bullet. Having said that, I'd be happy with the PRC if that's what I had. Load some Barnes or Hammers, and it'll punch hard out to 600 yd or so. You must know your hunting conditions and the majority of your target game. Everybody has a story to "prove" why their gun is better, but there's a lot of background information that is generally missing in "story to make a point" postings. Distance, bullet type, shooter ability, and the simple fact that not every animal shot the same reacts the same way. The 300 WM is hard to beat for an all-around game-taker. Again, lots of variables such as stock design, gun weight, etc that factor into shootability and portability. Is it accurate if shooter does the part, or is it needing updated anyway? Maybe another (lighter) rifle is right for you. Or go ahead take up the generous offer by Feenix and try a brake on your good ole 300. I'm sure you'll be amazed how a good brake will tame the beast. But you know how it is, sometimes the itch for a new gun just needs scratched. ;) [/QUOTE]
