[QUOTE="Kirk2017, post: 2791320, member: 126298"] My 300 PRC has a 24” bbl pushing factory 212 eldx’s at 2880 fps…. (1690 fps and 1345 ft-lb at 1000 at my last elk hunt conditions) So makes the stated criteria above for 1000 yd elk gun but minimally. Don’t get me wrong I love my 300 PRC but just think if you choose a short barrel that ya might need to go with the 225’s or highest bc to maintain down range ….since your muzzle velocity will be slow. I’d consider something bigger in the 338 size as you get more bang for your buck with larger diameter bore for shorter barrel applications. [/QUOTE]
