It’s worth noting that the .300 PRC is a necked-­down .375 Ruger, its parent case.

At the same time, the .300 PRC actually has a tiny bit shorter case length than the .300 Win Mag (2.62″ vs 2.58″). For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.

During the Idaho visit, I had the opportunity to shoot the cartridge out to 2,349 yards. I had to see first-­hand just how the .300 PRC performed at really long distances, so I had Mile High Shooting Accessories (milehighshooting.com) chamber a barrel in it for my Accuracy International AXMC. We’ve been at war for 17 years and the handful of times that kind of range was necessary, snipers would typically walk rounds in on target until they got lucky.

I built mine with a Bartlein 1:8 twist, in a trued 700 action. So now, I want to finish what I started.

As a matter of mirror-image fact, the two cases are extremely similar. This means velocity should be high, accuracy exceptional, and all with a barrel life similar to a .300 WM since the .300 PRC uses a pinch more powder. While the dimensions of these cartridges are all pretty similar, the throat length and throat diameter of the .300 PRC are tighter than any of the wildcats.

When a bullet sits inside the powder column, it can be bent or pushed off-­axis, making it unstable in flight or forcing the bullet to yaw prior to engaging the rifling. Just about every .30-­caliber magnum puts a lot of bullet in the case. The X-Bolt is free-floated by bedding the front and rear of the action for stability and to help maintain barrel to stock spacing for consistent accuracy. This is why the .300 PRC combines both a tight freebore while still refusing to put the bullet inside the powder column. Building a 2,000-Yard Rifle in the New 300 PRC. When a shooter jumps to the larger .588-­inch bolt face — as used in the .300 Norma — actions and other components become more expensive. Prev. The X-Bolt's new three-lever Feather Trigger provides a clean, crisp pull with no take-up or creep and minimal overtravel.

This means a .308 bullet, when chambered, is going to sit inside a hole that is only .0008-­inch larger than the bullet. As a former sniper, I would argue that the expectation is unrealistic and any fractional performance gains achieved in its pursuit are not going to be worth the effort or expense. However, hits were still manageable — even with a slow and changing wind.

In short, it gets slightly smashed into a new shape.

That’s an increase of 875 percent in freebore clearance, which illustrates the stark contrast between a precise cartridge and one that throws the proverbial hot dog down a hallway. The .300 PRC was designed to specifically avoid this problem. Taking advantage of that knowledge base is a marvelous strategic idea, and it makes me want to stand at attention just thinking about it.

The time at FTW allowed me and two friends to shoot at a 32-­inch circular steel target at 1,600 yards.

First Prev 2 of 3 Go to page. The issues with those cartridges were that the host guns are simply huge and the ammunition is large and heavy. Snow. Bullets get pushed from the rear when a cartridge fires, so it’s easy for them to twist or yaw in the chamber prior to engaging the rifling. Should a bullet get crooked in the chamber before it hits the rifling, the bullet’s center of gravity gets forcibly moved when the bullet finally engages the rifling. It weighs about 17-18 pounds. For this shoot, Pro Tom Beckstrand, former U.S. Army Special Operations officer and sniper team leader, faces off against Guns & Ammo TV cameraman Ben LaLonde in a challenge that highlights the differences between these two cartridges.

This neck and shoulder geometry design was no accident.

Used at the bench, on the ground, or with-in 500 yards of the truck. That was my opinion before listening to a member of SOCOM involved in the requirement and hearing about the testing done for it. The results are spectacular.
