7mm PRC vs .270 Win — Best Bush Hunting Rifle

As others have said 7mm PRC is a great cartridge but where you see it's true performance is at extended ranges, beyond 300y. That performance also comes at a cost too, as it is $100 a box and limited by it's factory ammunition availability as it's relatively new still.

For your parameters I would go with a 16-20" 308 rifle, it is hard to beat.

I have a 7PRC rifle but I don't use it unless I know I am going to be shooting beyond 200y. For 100y and in, when I'm hunting blacktails in coastal forests and visibility is limited by rain, fog and dense forest, I use a 44mag typically.
I do have other options at hand I sometime use as well.
