Chalk up one more deer for the 300 PRC. About 100 yards with a 208gr. Berger LRHT at 2,900 ft/s. Quartering towards me, entrance just in front of the near side shoulder and exit in the ribs behind the far side front shoulder. Fist size hole in the near side ribs, but the shoulder itself was...

Anyone hearing any rumblings on when some Berger 215 or 220's are supposed to start showing back up in stock? I've shot some 245gr EOL's but want to try the 215's to see if they'll work better with my 24" barrel and H1000.

I've been working up a load for the same bullet. I'm using 225gr. ELD-M, Lapua brass, CCI 250's and H1000. I also settled right in the same area as quite a few others and went with 75.8gr. I'm running a 24" carbon Proof barrel, so it's a bit slower than the 26" and 28" barrels. I'm averaging...

What's everyone using for trimming the 300 PRC brass? I have been using a Forster Original with a 3-way cutter and drill adapter for all of my other rifle cases for many years and it's been easy to hit a +/- 0.001" number. Seems that it's too short for the 300 PRC cases though. At first I...

I don't think it would be too bad to cut a groove with a thin cutoff wheel on a dremel or angle grinder...if you can run it in a straight line. Or stick it in a mill and machine a slot. But at least on the Origin action, it took maybe a minute to pull the screw and ejector out and about the...

Just put the first 15 or so rounds through this one today. It took 3 shots to sight in, 2 at 25 then 1 at 100. Then just some random loads with factory 2nd 212gr ELDX and Ramshot Magnum powder to run through the Proof barrel break-in instructions, but it shoots better than me already...

The Ebay wrench worked great! No grinding or sanding required. I did have to take the ejector out, which is super easy. Otherwise it fit perfectly, just a touch less slop than the bolt has. I torqued the barrel to 100 ft/lb without any issues. Well worth the $48, and it was to my door in...

I picked up my action last Thursday (MileHigh had it to me ffl within a week of ordering). The ebay wrench should be here tomorrow, so I'll know pretty quick how that works and follow up here.

I just ordered one of the ebay wrenches to try out also. My action should be here Thursday if UPS stays on time. Hopefully I'll have the wrench early next week to try out. If needed, a quick hit on the belt sander should do the trick for the width.

Curious to see what the answers are. I'm in the same boat with parts and no wrench and was just looking at the one from PMA last night.

I talked to Andy on the phone for a good 15 minutes or so about components, what else he carries, the crazy weather up here, tractors, gardens, a bit of hunting and ranching in western ND, and probably more I'm forgetting. Super friendly and easy to talk to, so I had no problem handing over my...

Yes, shipped in a USPS flat rate box. Took all of 2 days to get from the post office in middle of nowhere OK to my mailbox in middle of nowhere ND.

I'm in the process of building a 300 PRC with an Origin LA and Proof prefit (or at least that's the plan). So far I have been able to track down everything but some RL26 or H1000. I did get Ramshot Magnum to at least get me going though. If anyone is looking, I found brass at Rockin S...

I built one with a metal Hornady sign as a background after I got a good deal on a few back when they did the fundraiser sale after a hurricane in Texas. The new one on top and the old plastic one from Amazon on the bottom.

Luckily I had the part number handy from the manual. I started out with the customer service contact form on the website, and after a couple of back and forth emails they ended up referring me to a different support email address due to the "controlled classification of the equipment". I...
