Hi all,
I am building a new 300 PRC, will primarily run it with a suppressor for hunting so I am planning on having.a short barrel spun up. Thinking 20 or 21 inches.
I currently have a 22" 300 PRC Seekins Havak Element that I am selling to build a custom gun (stupid, but I need to scratch the itch) and I am perfectly fine with the performance of that gun on game.
Question is, anyone have experience going shorter? 20, 21"? 20" would be phenomenal for me but not sure what people are pushing pills at with that barrel length. I do reload now, so factory loads are not something that will hold me back. Primarily will be loading the 190 grain LRX.
If anyone runs a 300 PRC at 20, 21 inches, would you mind sharing your bullet weights and velocity? Thank you in advance!
Edit: curious about twist as well in the shorter barrels, I am planning 1-9 which I think should cover me from the longer mono's up to the 225's.
