The Hornady Podcast

On this episode, Seth is joined by Joe, Jayden, and Neil and the topic of this deep dive is the 300 PRC. These folks had an early hand in the development and use of this heavy hitting cartridge. They discuss how and why it was designed, along with its military application, its hunting application, and the fun factor of this cartridge which is meant to efficiently launch heavy bullets. We know there’s a lot of 30 caliber cartridges on the market, but we think the 300 PRC is the ultimate tool for long
