[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1495676, member: 94491"] guess I haven't been following the info on the 300prc too closely I thought this was supposed to be something in the same "league" as a 300wm or 300 weatherby just a bit faster got the Hornady e-mail the other day and just looked up the specs--I guess I'm not understanding it's niche the max length is listed at 3.70"--pretty close to what the 300 lapua is but no where near the 3.34 of the 300wm--the prc shows a saami std of 2800fps with a 225gr bullet-- the 300 lapua is 3100 with a 216gr --or the 300norma is listed at 220 at 3000 so still slower than that--OK I do see the prc has the std "magnum" bolt head like the 300wm so the prc is too long for standard "long action" mags its going to have to be on the "norma/lapua" length action/mags, yet is is 300fps shy of the 300 lapua and 200fps shy of the 300 norma---only thing I can think of is if the cost is lower on the 300prc than the other 2. Am I missing something? there is still not much info on the 300prc right now and I think the only factory rifle right now is a barrel conversion for the barrett mrad (though I'm sure there will be more)-- [/QUOTE]
