.300 PRC Ammo
The .300 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) is a cutting-edge, long-range rifle cartridge developed by Hornady in 2018. Designed to provide superior ballistics, accuracy, and consistency at extended ranges, the .300 PRC has quickly gained popularity among long-range shooters, hunters, and military snipers, establishing itself as a serious contender in the world of precision rifle cartridges.
The .300 PRC is based on a modified .375 Ruger case, necked down to accept a .30 caliber (7.62mm) bullet. The cartridge was specifically engineered to optimize the performance of heavy-for-caliber, high-ballistic-coefficient projectiles, typically weighing between 212 and 230 grains. This results in muzzle velocities ranging from 2,800 to 2,950 feet per second, depending on the bullet weight and powder charge.
One of the key advantages of the .300 PRC is its exceptional long-range performance. The cartridge exhibits a flat trajectory, minimal wind drift, and excellent energy retention at extended distances, making it ideal for precision shooting and long-range hunting applications. The .300 PRC has also demonstrated outstanding accuracy, with many shooters reporting sub-MOA groupings at distances beyond 1,000 yards.
The .300 Precision Rifle Cartridge is best suited for experienced shooters and hunters who require a highly accurate, long-range cartridge for precision target shooting, military or law enforcement sniping, or hunting large game at extended distances. Although the cartridge may have slightly higher recoil and ammunition costs compared to some other .30 caliber options, its performance characteristics make it a highly effective and versatile choice for those seeking the ultimate in long-range capabilities.
