Any 300 PRC experts? Best twist, bullet and barrel length?

[QUOTE="cbuck516, post: 2693666, member: 122236"] I also had good luck with the 199 Hammer Hunter in a cheap rifle. Incredible forgiveness in my 24” 1-8.5 twist Howa barrel. I have some Badlands 195 and 205 BD2 on the way to try next. I found a decent load in the ELD-X 200 as a cheap target load. I love this cartridge enough that I am now planning on building a 20” 1-8 tw 300 PRC to shoot suppressed on mountain hunts. Barrel length depends on your use case. This cartridge burns efficiently enough that I think you can go as short as you feel like you can stand, velocity wise. I am definitely going with a much heavier barrel for my build though as this thin sporter barrel heats up really fast, especially in the summer. [/QUOTE]
