#10MinuteTalk - 300 PRC: It’s Pretty Much a Missile Strike

The 300 prc is going to be my next long range target shooting rifle. Im hearing nothing but praises for this round.

I was always a 300 win mag guy until the 300 PRC came out. Bigger bullets , better BC, more velocity with less kick.

We do need a dedicated. 300 Win Mag video, gentlemen.

I love the 300 Win mag but once I started reloading I switched to the PRC and haven’t looked back. Not having to deal with the belt is huge. Also the throat design of the PRC is really intelligently done. I’m told you can get the accuracy of a handloaded cartridge out of a factory round.

These guys personalities makes them fun to watch laid back and genuine unlike most other youtubers and Ryan is probably the most knowledgeable guy about guns and bullets on the entire internet .....caliber talks are my favorite please do 12 guage caliber talk

300 prc definitely is a modern cartridge, no reason to purchases any other large 30 caliber cartridge. Love your podcast keep asking good questions👍

I love this podcast! Podcast ideas for the future. 300 ham'r Big bore AR cartridges 458 socom & 50 beowulf 6.8 spc II An entire podcast series on AR cartridges typical and non typical Thanks again for the content guys and happy new year.

The one thing that was forgotten in this talk is the twist rate from that factory. Faster twist spec vs other 30 cals is what makes it work better for the heavies. Also work noting, Lapua makes brass for this beast and the military is using the PRC to some extent.

and yes please do the 300 win mag episode!!!

A year and a half ago, Matt at CRS Firearms was doing specific builds. For example, he built and load tested a .243 for AP rounds. He had already talked about hunting rifles. His favorite to hunt with is his SCAR heavy, which is, of course, 7.62X51 mm NATO. Compact, easy to use, and certainly fine for the dense forests of the public hunting land that he now uses in Wisconsin (the c stands for Coloma.) So, he wanted to build a sniper rifle, something that could possibly be used by military. He had choices from .308 W and up. Originally, he had chosen .300 WM because it has already been used, very effective, ammo everywhere, nearly as ubiquitous as .308 W. He could not find the action he wanted. But he was able to get a .300 PRC action. So, he built a .300 PRC with a carbon fiber wrapped barrel. He had accuracy and performance problems that were frustrating and I think he eventually worked them out. First two shots would be great. Third shot would wander way off, like the scope moved or something else like that. Problems you normally only have with, say, a Mossberg Patriot in the factory synthetic stock. I can say that because I have 3 Mossberg pieces and one of them is a Patriot that performs so much better in the MDT chassis I put it in. And at the end of the day, would he hunt with it? No, and not just because it is purpose built for something different and he is not a long range hunter. It is so much recoil and it is a heavy rifle. Ironically, his SCAR heavy is lighter. I am sure everyone here knows the heavy description just means it is .308 W and not .223 Rem. It could be used for longer range and bigger game hunting. And if I felt the need to hunt with something more powerful than my lovely .308 rifles, I would likely go with a .300 WSM, like Mark and not because he uses it, although he is the one to give me exposure and insight into it. (Sorry for the run-on sentence.) It is, to me, a fat .308 W. A medium action rifle that is less influenced by the wind and a short enough rifle to be truly portable. I also see it in action at Rogee Productions, where they hunt in public land in New Zealand and there is no getting within 100 yards of the skiddish ungulates there. Most shots are a few hundred yards. It reminds me of the state drawn lottery hunts in my state where you can hunt mule deer. The description of the hunt and the area is to expect snow and ice (high desert) and shots of at least 200 yards (high desert, not a lot of trees.) Pretty much all still hunting. Would I change to .300 PRC for a 200 yard hunt? No. The factory load that I have has energy good to about 500 yards. That is plenty good, especially for the dense forests I hunt. But intellectually, it is a worthy pursuit.

“Recoil sensitive since shoot a PRS Match.” You guys are hilarious to watch. I love the cartridge talks you all do.

Yes!! I love these cartridges talks!

Love this round, shoots great out of my HMR wilderness

how in the hell is this channel not booming? solid stuff every video Love it!!!

The 300prc was best described from 3:00-3:30. The way that I describe my 300prc is it's a 300wm with all the chamber slop removed and a much longer neck to hold onto the long high BC bullets and not set them deep in the case. I'd say that the 300prc is 20% better than a 300wm today. When more factory ammo choices come to market I'd say that the 300prc would be 40% better than the 300wm. Thats not saying that the 300wm is a slouch or obsolete in any way. I love my model 70 in 300wm but my 300prc is more betterer 👍

Mucipedia's knowledge is profound.. I'll never get bored of these cartridge 10 minute talks, ever.

I found a lot of 300 PRC on the shelves recently. Glad to start seeing ammo on the shelves.

The 300 win mag with a 1 in 8 twist barrel has been the Goldilocks for me: shoot 230 A-Tips at 2915fps or shoots $25 a box Remington Core-lokts in a pinch. Of course for non-hand loaders, the 300 PRC is a great option! That said,I don’t know many ELR shooters who don’t hand load hah

Haha my first rifle was a 308 as a kid. Years of shooting it I laughed at the idea of going to any caliber for lighter recoil. I ended up getting a 6.5 creed and fell in love then after probably a year of neglecting my 308 I finally took her out and was shocked by the recoil! I had got so used to that creed that I forgot what 308 felt like

I appreciated you guys making a 338 win mag video. That was great. Would you guys consider talking about what your caliber of choice would be for a specific type of game species or a specific type of hunt? Something in the lines of what caliber/cartridge you guys would use, what kind of ammo etc. I think it would be an awesome video. For me I like the 223 for varmints predators 270 for medium to potentially large game and the 338 win mag to cover anything that plans to eat me here in North America. No need for big 5 African hunting for me.
