300 prc

[jgilb]

looking for bigger rifle cant decide between 300 prc or 300 win or 338 any insight would be great

I'd ditch the 338 and go either 300 prc or wm. If you want to shoot heavy bullet go PRC if not then the WM is hard to beat.

To use for what, and what range?

 

[Ruger007]

Custom or factory rifle?

I have both. The 300 WM is easier to find factory loads for.
My 300PRC has a faster twist barrel for the heavy bullets.

For a hunting rifle they are probably the same.

Won’t make any difference what so ever in hunting situations! People get worked up with all of the different calibers/cartridges, but in reality berry little difference it makes in games!

Find a rifle that you like and fits. The 3 calibers will do the same job. Practice and know your ranges.

I've had about twenty different 300 PRCs, its an outstanding cartridge especially if you want to shoot long range, as others have said for hunting it really is comparing apples to apples,

the only real differences between the 300 WM and the PRC is no belt, tighter tolerances on the reamer specs, and its throated to shoot heavy for Caliber bullets,( you can have the same done to a 300WM) most factory rifles have a faster twist barrel, if you go the 300 PRC get an 1-8 twist barrel, in the end think of the 300 PRC of a modern designed 300 WM,

If you love to target shoot and maybe want to shoot long range as well as hunt and hand load a lot, the 300 PRC starts to outshine the 300 WM for a few minor reasons.

300 win mag designed/introduced in 1963.......300 PRC designed/introduced in the fall of 2018,

If all your doing is just hunting inside of 2 or 300 yards hell go .308 Winchester as its going to do everything you need and you have more factory ammo options than any other cartridge on the planet burning half the powder.
