300 prc for baited bear

[T Bone]

Use whatever rifle you have.

Practice at the bait distance, and understand at what yardage exactly your bullet crosses line of sight.

An old friend wounded a couple of bears because he held crosshairs where he wanted to hit....at 20 yards.

He consistently shot low and was too much of a dumb ass to listen or actually print it on paper.

Ah yes. An extra 50 percent of the bullet (1.12" vs .75") sticking out to make room for longer modern bullets, and a twist rate to accomodate them. How terrible.

Only the best looking MFers have both a .300 PRC and a .300 RUM.

Beotches.

Can I sub the PRC for a 300 WBY instead?

I was shooting big .30 bullets fast before you even knew what a PRC was. mtmuley

No. It’s a beltless thing, you wouldn’t get it.

.243 bullets don't stick out very far either.

Your choice of socks matters more than your choice of caliber on a hunt like this. What a stupid fuggin thread.

From what I have read, 300PRC sounds really exciting.

Do you recommend mid-calf tube socks or full height heel fit? Synthetic, cotton, or wool?
