Not sure you guys want 300PRC under 10lbs. I personally prefer hunting magnum rifle around 10lbs. But thats just my opinion everybody is different. Any load data on 230gr A-Tip with H1000?
Several posts back, Dave Tooley used the phrase "easy button" to describe the update from 300 win mag to 300 PRC. I am hoping that also applies to the Rem 338 win mag. My current config includes a detachable 3 round mag box that measures 3.70 inches. Will I be able to make the conversion with a simple barrel change?
Yes, internal.
Will the .300 PRC run in .300wm mags or would i need XL bottom metal and CIP mags to make it work?
I'am thinking about rebarreling my .300wm to .300 PRC.
CIP mags to make it worth it.
Great! Thanks for the advice. I am on my way then.I load my 215 bergers to 3.700 which is 20 off the lands with the Sammi spec reamer spun up by Dave Tooley. Your COAL will be shorter with the 225s also. So looks like you should be good.
Please post a review when you're done! If Lapua or Peterson don't get up to speed by SS 2020 that's in the cards.

I am having a rifle built in .300 PRC, maybe the first in The Netherlands. 28” Lothar Walther barrel, Ultimatum Deadline action, Bix'n Andy trigger, chassis to be decided. Very excited!
However, I am a bit in doubt as to what twist rate I should use. I see that the Bergara, Christensen and MRAD rifles are in 1:8, the Ruger RPR .300 PRC uses 1:9. Most people here are talking 1:9.
What should I use, assuming I will first shoot the 225 ELD-M ammunition and later handload, probably with the 225gr ELD-M, but perhaps also with the 230gr A-Tip and maybe even the 250gr A-Tip.
Hornady recommends 1:9 for the 230gr A-Tip and 1:8 for the 250gr A-Tip. Dilemma! What’s the best compromise now? I think for the 225gr ELD-M and the 230gr A-Tip I should go with 1:9. Will I then be unable to use the 250gr A-Tip?
Your advice and insights are most welcome!
You need to decide if you really want to shoot that 250 pill. If the answer is yes, then you probably should go with the 1:8. Otherwise the 1:9 will handle most everything except the 230 SMKs.I am having a rifle built in .300 PRC, maybe the first in The Netherlands. 28” Lothar Walther barrel, Ultimatum Deadline action, Bix'n Andy trigger, chassis to be decided.

Not sure you gaining much with 250gr over 230gr. 230 A-tip has high BC that within 2000 yards i think 230 will dominate.
230 Berger, 230 SMK. CBTO jam on both fall where I’d expect between 2.8368 - 3.005 (actually almost dead center) but once there, COL is beyond 3.70. Jump at 3.70 COL: 230 Berger .013, SMK 230 .140 (yeah 1-4-0). Disappointed to lose that much seating depth flexibility. Noticing short CBTO’s at max COL with any pills?I load my 215 bergers to 3.700 which is 20 off the lands with the Sammi spec reamer spun up by Dave Tooley.

Anyone in this thread from Aus that has a 300PRC yet?
Hi,
Not sure if it may help you or not but NIOA has a few Rugers in 300PRC....actually I am pretty sure this does not help you as I have a feeling you are looking for reamer, dies, etc type of possession
Sincerely,
Theis
Ordering magazine for my 300PRC in KRG whiskey 3 chassis. Going between Accurate Mag3.850 MDT and AICS magazine. all of them are 3.850. Anybody prefers one over other?
Thank you
Thank you i order MDT.Well...I don't have an Accurate....but I prefer the MDT over the AICS....and I prefer the MDT 338LM magazine over the MDT 300WM once I got the feed lips bent right....might be a chassis/Action specific preference though...I have the MDT ACC with a Defiance Deviant Tact.
Thank you i order MDT.
Not big selection of reloading dies for 300 PRC. I hope forster and redding will release with their competition series soon.
Question all, I ordered the Hawkins CIP bottom metal. Inletted by LRI.
Order the accurate mag 300WM 3.85 (atleast I thought anyways)
What should the inside dimension be?Can you measure the inside dimension of the magazine?
I believe the inside should be somewhere around 3.76" with the 3.85" CIP mags.
the 3.715" Outside are like 3.625" inside.
Thanks guys. I’ll call Altus tomorrow and see if they can reference my order and see if I ordered the wrong one or I was just sent the wrong one by chance.Yep he has standard 300wm mags not CIP
Very nice!I bought the Hornady dies with the micro adjust seater. My plan was to get this set and later get a 'better' set....but to be honest...if my groups get better due to changing dies...well I just don't see how that can happen. The limiting factor right now is ME...not the equipment nor the reloading process. I am not a candidate for testing out various primers at 1000 yards and seeing which one I like best.
Or...maybe I'm just stupid lucky to have hit on the right load with very little development with 230gr A-tips and Retumbo powder and Federal Match LRP....and what most people call....crappy ole Hornady brass.
Also...I'm out of Retumbo....HELP!!!!
Very nice!
what is your setup if you dont mind asking and did you try H1000 with 230 a-tip?
Did anyone hear about any new release of 300 PRC brass anytime soon from any other manufacturers. Now its only Hornady.
