Thread: 300 PRC thoughts for a new guy

I would be looking to buying a calibre that is "old school", "run of the mill". A 300PRC may be an excellent calibre, but its gonna hurt your body until you know how to shoot, and its gonna hurt your pocket cos it costs a bloody fortune to buy PRC ammo. And then you probably wont be able to buy it from many places, if it is available.

A 308, 30-06, 270, 7-08, 25-06, 243 etc etc certainly dont feature as much in all the glossy advertising any more, but they sure as hell will shoot every bit as good, for a lot less hassle. Buy a 7-08 or a 308 and learn to hunt, and shoot, and then shoot it some more until you're confident enough to take ethical shots consistently out to about 350 metres. Then spend time on the range to learn how to extend your shooting ability on targets.

As a good mate of mine use to say - "the only bullet/rifle combination you need is the one where the bullet and the target connect" And the 300PRC will cost you heaps to get that. There are so many other quality options available that wont cost you an arm and a leg.
