[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1495782, member: 11960"] The 3.700” OAL was used so it would take full advantage of the AICS pattern mags. Any long action that will take a long action AICS pattern mag (with appropriate bottom metal) will work. This includes Savage and Remington long actions as well as pretty much any custom long action out there. I think Tikka, Howa and Ruger are the only popular long actions that won’t readily take a mag that length. The 300 PRC will run right there with the 300 Win Mag and 30 Nosler when loaded to similar a OAL. It’s not really better than anything if you’re building a custom gun with a custom reamer. A factory rifle in 300 PRC will be setup to run at 3.700” with an 8.5” twist per SAAMI specs. The 300 Win and 30 Nosler have 3.340” and 10” twist specs. In a factory rifles and ammo the 300 PRC will be setup with more of a focus on heavy LR bullets and allow for a longer OAL and a fast enough twist to accommodate them. The brass debate will never get resolved but if brass manufacturer is a big deal, just build a 300 Win Mag and be happy with all the available options. [/QUOTE]
