[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1648565, member: 54178"] My Dear Remy, The 300 PRC is a "300 Creedmoor". ;o) Supposedly Hornady worked with the Army on the development of the 300 PRC. What that probably means is the Army said, "We want this, this and this in a 30 caliber sniping cartridge." and Hornady, said "Sure Uncle Sugar." and went ahead and gave them a ".300 Win mag Improved" that would easily accommodate long, heavy-for-caliber bullets. Hornady has a Youtube video on the development of the 300 PRC. Interesting "selling points". Eric B. P.S I happen to know from a relative close to the project that the Army has around 8 to 10 teams working hard on improving things like communications/ELINT, small arms, mechanized infantry, robotics for everything from hauling ammo and gear to hauling casualties and being armed for unmanned assault. SO... my bet is the choice of the Barrett MRAD in 300 PRC is one of the results of this larger initiative. Since the US military already has a big pistol contract with SIG maybe they will add SIG sniper scopes with the reticle level indicators. Couldn't hurt. [/QUOTE]
