[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2250324, member: 101859"] For any cartridge to work you have to have the chamber, brass, and dies designed correctly together. Your going to have issues with just about any chambering out there as its so hard to find good dies. In most cases, the less expensive, less frustrating path is to get a rifle built and get custom dies by someone that has worked out the bugs. The customer should not be the one doing the testing for you. Next to the 300 norma improved the 300 PRC is my favorite big .30. I really am enjoying mine, so dont pass up trying a PRC. From the very beginning of my 300 Norma improved I would only build them on Bat HR actions due to lug set back issues with other actions. Now Borden offers a suitable action, but those are the only 2 options that I will use. There are other good actions out there that are suitable for standard magnum bolt faces and the 300 PRC is a great option for those. I am within 150 fps of my norma improved with 10 grains less powder. [/QUOTE]
