Tested and selected by the U.S. Department of Defense for its extended long-range sniping program, the 300 PRC launches heavy-for-caliber, high-performance bullets accurately and efficiently. Based on the 375 Ruger cartridge case, the 300 PRC uses common, temperature-stable, magnum-speed rifle powders for consistent velocity and increased barrel life.
The 300 PRC is available in 225 gr ELD® Match and 212 gr ELD-X® Precision Hunter®.
Ballistic editors noted that, at 500 yards, the 225 gr ELD® Match still travels at 2,250 feet per second with 2,528 foot-pounds of energy.
“That’s why the U.S. military loves it, and several manufacturers are already producing rifles for it,” Ballistic said.
“The editors at Ballistic acknowledged companies that listen to their customers and pay attention to detail, and those are two of our core values at Hornady®,” Communications Manager Neal Emery said. “We couldn’t be more tickled to be included in this group.”
