- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- Is 338 lapua magnum the extreme long range king? If you are researching calibers for extreme long range this video is for you! In this video we'll provide a side by side comparison of 338 lapua magnum and 300PRC at 100 yds, 1465 yds and 1815 yds. For the comparison we'll utilize my Barrett MRAD equipped with factory barrels in each caliber. Optic is a nightforce ATACR F1 7-35 scope with tremor 3 reticle. The intent of this comparison is to look at both cartridges in a magazine fed application, thus we'll utilize the 230gr hornady atip in the 300PRC and the 285gr hornady ELDM in the .338LM.

I shoot 300 Norma with a GAP, my shooting partner shoots 338 Lapua with an AI. I’m Vortex, he’s Night Force. No end to arguments.
Thats awesome. Way more fun that way.
You did a great job, I've seen tomany comparisons between the two calibers to call it a wash. 300PRC has won again.
Great Channel and great shooting! I would like to see a comparison of the 300 WM, 300 NM and 300PRC
Great shooting. Great video. Thank you for your time making the video.
By far my favorite RUclipsr for shooting. Very informative thank you!
Great video. Thanks for the efforts getting it to us.
Great video. Thanks for sharing the results and info!
Man i love your videos. Id rather watch your videos then most anything on youtube. Everything you do is informative and straight to the meat and potatoes.
Awesome shooting there and great demonstration.
this was shot so well and you are such a clear communicator, kind of separating your ideas into digestible sentences, really enjoyed this video
Really appreciate it! I’ve always found the simpler you can make a concept, the easier it is for an audience to understand. Thank you for watching, I’ve got tons more in the works so stay tuned!
One of the best videos I have seen in a while. Yes it was long, but it was good enough to not turn away. I like your communication level. Simple and clear. You show that you aren’t biased towards either caliber. And video quality and sound were awesome. I’m now a subscriber. Great job boss.
Thank you! Really appreciate the support! Love making this type of content and I’ve got lots more like it planned for 2023. Hope you stay tuned and enjoy what I’ve got in the works!
Great video. The right amount of talking, shooting, data, information and opinion. Im subscribed.
Thank you! This is the format I plan to use moving forward
Hey man, you are really nailing it with these videos. Your cinematography is really great and you do a fantastic job of explaining things. Keep up the fantastic work! I’d love to see videos of you in a studio explaining things for new shooters. You have something really cool here…keep up the great work!
Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and provide the encouragement! I’m really enjoying putting these videos together and so far it seems like folks are really into what I have to offer. The new shooter piece has come up several times recently and I’ve been thinking about how I’ll cover it. Rather than a studio environment I want to do it on the range so I can speak to a concept and then show it in action. Multiple shorter videos. Stay tuned, it’s going to happen!
Just ordered my 300 prc today! Very excited to get it for the 1000 yard matches. Thoughts on hday 220 eldx or 225 eldm?
Yes sir keep doing what you are doing by keeping it on the range. Actions speak louder then words so much more then in a studio setting
Very impressed with your facts and knowledge, good job explaining it all.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Good informational content from a humble man, just earned another subscription. Good shooting! Much better than I can do but I’ve also never tried shooting past a grand either. Really want to get into extreme long range but none of my buddies have the interest so it’s always deterred me, everyone wants to dump mags @100yrds and in around here lol
Really appreciate you taking the time to watch, comment and subscribe! Man dumping mags is super fun but there just something addicting about long range shooting! Frustrating at times but always rewarding haha
Oddly relaxing video. Thanks!
Thank you for your comparison of those two calibers!
I'm planning to step up from .308 Winchester because it often doesn't give the spotter much to work with beyond 900 yards. At least that is the case on the range I have to use to shoot that far, which is the Coldbore Range in neighbouring Denmark. At first I thought about the .338 Lapua, but the dies won't fit into my reloading press. The press is one of a kind, built by a professional toolmaker at a time the .338 Lapua wasn't around, I am sort of attached to it. I'm very happy to see that the .300 PRC can compete with the .338 Lapua because that is more than I was hoping for.
Guns, Glory, Germany ;-)
Thank you for watching! Hands down if I were you I'd go with something like the 300PRC and never look back.
I second that. If you have press clearance issues the 300prc "can" get long at a C.O.A.L of 3.850". Also donor actions are much easier to find being a standard magnum size action if you decide to build a rifle from scratch.
Another good cartridge to look into is the 7saum. I would think that 7mm bullets might be easier to find in Germany.
I've never heard of anyone saying that "my 338lapua was the easiest rifle I've ever loaded for".
Hey brother, great video! I rarely watch anything start, to finish. You did a really good job of presenting the content both in your video technique, and in narration. I'd love to see the same presentation, inclusive of the .300 Norma Magnum.
Blessings!
I appreciate that! I'll get a video together comparing 300NM to 300PRC and 338LM to further distances as soon as I can find a barrel!
Great video to watch! Keep them coming.
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! Lots more content like this in the works so stay tuned.
Great video. Kept me listening the entire length. A Trigger Cam would be cool addition down the road. I’m heading down this path in the future and looking at 338Edge.
Thank you for a great video without annoying music. Excellent informative video with a good comparison of the two rounds.
Some high dollar equipment and you drove them well.
Appreciate you checking the video out!
I shoot a 338 LM at 1 mile at milkjugs (that's ~1/3 moa).
I shoot hornady 285 ELDM, Lapua brass, us869 powder 104 gr, and Federal LRP powder.
the ammo has a 9 fps extreme spread and 4 fps standard deviation, and 2800 fps MV
the barrel is a 29" bartlein match straight taper with 1:8 twist. it's a tack driver!
the problem is the recoil and concussion (and $) caused me to develop a trigger slap (,like a few I saw here) and an anticipate and flinch 😢
I moved to a 6.5 cm for lower recoil, 1/2 the cost.. I have 29" kreiger barrel with 1:7.5. I shoot 153.5 bergers.
I don't feel I lost anything with the 6.5 other than the >1 mile and energy down range.
I love 338 LM, was curious about 300 PRC, so this comparison was awesome. but I shot a 6.5 and fell in love (note my 6.5 actually weighs 2 lbs more than my 338 LM so recoil is next to nothing)
one more thing, I also lob 90 grain 223 out to a 1 mile milk jug, not a high success rate and spotting misses is a pain, but pushing beyond reasonable is a ton of fun
Once again. Great video! Thanks again!
Appreciate it!
Just watched your video. I have a 300prc and i am just starting to reload. Your give great practical info and present it well. Great job. I have watched a few of your videos and the info is always good. Keep it up
Another great video. No fluff, no shitty music, just winning. I would LOVE to see some night action, that Raptar is just begging for it 😁
I've got some ideas for night videos but I'm not sure how to record it. The only NV I've got is the PVS30 for the rifle so the video would basically be a black screen for the viewer haha
Fun video to watch, thanks brother!
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel!
Enjoyed the review. Cheers🇬🇧
Much appreciated!
Amazing backdrops - you are in an amazing part of the world.
Thank you! Blessed with a really cool place to get to shoot! As you can see eastern WA state is a long range shooting paradise.
nice job thanks for your time and committment
I'm currently researching 300wm vs 300prc and came across your video. Great footage and very informative. Thanks.
Haven’t had a chance to run 300wm side by side with 300prc yet. Something I want to do though as like you mention these are 2 calibers always thought of as relatively similar. Would love to show the real world differences out to distance. Are you leaning WM or PRC at the moment?
300 prc is absolutely going to kick the shit out of 300wm... all PRC cartridges headspace off the shoulder instead of the belt (provides more consistent headspacing)... 300 prc can also make use of better bc bullets
It is wise to purchase the 300PRC. The 300win mag does not have the capacity to hold bullets larger than 190 grain, while the 300prc can reliably hold up to 230 grain. Now, in terms of price, there is not much difference with the 300winmag.
Of course, the 300NORMA MAG is a different story, but for now, the 300PRC is still more cost effective than the 300NORMA MAG.
Supersonic Limits (25 degrees, 60% humidity / 26" barrel)
300win - 1470 yards / 195grain
300prc - 1860 yards / 220grain
300normamag - 1970 yards / 220grain
I don't think anyone but US military special forces would pay more than double the price to shoot 100 yards farther.
Great video thanks for posting
Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Great video thanks for the info
Thank you for this and other videos Really enjoying it Charl south African,
Loving this channel, brother
Glad you enjoy it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Love your videos. Just stretched out my hunting 30-06 212 to 1309 yards with first shot hits on 12 x 24 boulder. Fairly certain we can get that rifle to 1 mile, but I want to get a 300 prc and hope to get it out to mid 2500s. Modern bullets and powders really make the 30 cal shine. When I was a kid, no one would have thought a 30-06 could get first shot hits on a 12x24 at 3/4 mile, and I am a total rookie.
Great job, what is barrel length
Great video as always! For me, I'll stick with .300 Win Mag, but I'm glad there are so many other options for those wanting to get into long range shooting. Keep up the great work
Oh man nothing wrong with the 300WM, great caliber with a ton of factory rifle and ammo options. Hopefully I can feature 300WM more on the channel in future content. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!
Love my 300WM! She's a Thumper😊
Yee but 300Winmag is a Little aggressive to the barrel
Solid video, I got into prs but have always been more interested in elr shooting
Thank you for watching! I've been into ELR now for 2 years or so..... like PRS it gets addicting!
Awesome content.
Just watched the whole video, honestly excellent, your shooting is really to be applauded! Absolutely top notch wind calls throughout and a really brilliant demonstration of what the capability of the calibres in question are. Utterly phenomenal shooting! Well done!
Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel. Stay tuned, I just picked up a 300NM barrel. Planning to launch a video comparing 300NM to 300PRC as soon as I have enough rounds through the new barrel to get some data and experience.
Great video. First time on channel. I have a 308 and just purchased a MG7 K Gen9 suppressor to accommodate 300 Win. Definitely want to get into ELR.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos and support the channel! Not sure if you have a 300WM yet or not. If you don’t the 308 is a great practice option to start building fundamentals for when you get into a bigger caliber. All my buddies give me a hard time but 308 is still my favorite all around caliber…. Capable of doing anything!
Nice work, good data
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Would like to see video through the scope, video through the laser range finder, video on use of the the ballastics application , and show a comparison of the rounds (glad you are having fun) 300 PRC versus 300 Win Mag versus 338 Lapua , ETC.
Awesome video with lots to take in. Just a tip since you don’t have a spotter who can’t tell you the wind, take a wooden rod with a flag attached and tie to your t post to help you with the wind.
Me personally I love my 338 LM for 1500-2500 yards and I’m interested in purchasing a .416 Barrett since I’m getting comfortable with my 338. Haven’t had any experience with the 300 PRC but I am open to new calibers.
Very good point on the wooden rod or stake…. I’ve tried tying ribbon on my t post but after a couple rounds the spalling cuts the ribbon and I lose my wind flag haha.
I’ve been spending time recently working up a load for the badlands ICBM 255gr copper solid. Have to single load these since they are so long but this should provide a lot more range for the 338LM. Thanks for watching!
Hello Zach, I enjoyed watching this video on the 300 PRC vs 338 Lapua Magnum. Would you be able to make a video on 7mm PRC and shoot it long range? Cheers mate. Keep up the great work! I look forward to your next video.
Very Good your videos and new caliber...!!
Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Man..... I wish freakin RUclips would've pushed your videos onto my feed much earlier. 😊
I dig watch all your videos and how you seam to be so at home in front of the camera. 👍
Awesome to hear you’re liking the content! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel! Lots of fresh content in the works so stay tuned.
I went thru the same thing 2 years ago. I was able to connect with the 300 PRC out to 2400 using factory ammo. Meanwhile, when I finally strapped the 338 with a tie down, I was able to to shoot it better. Building a more stable position. Look at the shots you missies at 1800ish w the 338. On those two shots you sort of had less follow thru w the trigger to the rear and you were immediately dipping the muzzle to look for impact. All that stuff counts. Cool video and editing!
Oh man, 100% agree all of the little things add up! While I prefer shooting the 300PRC, I like the 338LM because it is just fun to shoot. Hoping to spend more time shooting the 338LM and who knows, may revisit this in the future if I end up with a new opinion
Did you revisit it?
Would be great if you had a 338 Norma magnum shooting the 300gr atips
For 1 thing the 338 Lapua will do better with a longer barrel. And the 300 gr A-tip with hodgdon retumbo. OR the 300 gr berger .the A tip is easier to push .
Beautiful land. And really nice rifle. I went with a 300 Winchester Magnum. Have a lot of reloading components that work with that caliper. Plus I shoot 185 grain Bergers out of my 308 Winchester as well.
My opinion the 300 magnums are the way to go out to 2000ish yards!
Depending on your setup, a 300WM can actually outperform the PRC but you have to have the right setup (rifle with stock or chassis that will handle a CIP length mag and the chamber throated to handle the longer seat length that the CIP mag will allow for). Once you have that, the 300WM can run the same projectiles as the PRC with similar powder charges and typically get higher MV's (typically in the order of 50 to sometimes as high as 100fps higher).
The thing is, you definitely wont find any off the shelf WM ammo that will compete with any off the shelf PRC ammo since all WM ammo will be setup for the much shorter SAAMI length rather than CIP length. But with handloading, especially now that Lapua makes 300WM brass, 300WM in my opinion is a better choice if you have or are willing to build a rifle setup for longer seating.
Good stuff man, thanks.
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
We need more 300 prc content. I just got some Peterson brass for mine. Would love to hear more about what you are using, what powder you like the best, things like that. Keep up the good work. Would love to see you collaborate with other gun channels someday.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed. Maybe I’ll do a 300 prc review or something like that. So far I’ve only played with H1000, Retumbo and N568 with the 230 atip. Had that 230 atip hammering last night at 2200 yds though!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica That is awesome 👌 I just got some N568 and haven't tried it yet. Some people complain that it's slower than N570 but supposedly it is accurate. I have Retumbo, Reloader 26, 7828ssc, a little H1000, and N570. Mine loves the 220g SMK but I hope to try the 230 A-Tip someday. I don't have the twist for the 250g.
@@bensimmons8804 All I've done with the N568 so far is a quick ladder to get an idea of velocity. It's certainly slower than H1000 but looks promising. After shooting the 230s almost exclusively I'm not sure I see what the 250s really have to offer in 300PRC. I've got a box of 250s but aside from a quick ladder I really haven't mess with them yet. I'll put together some 300PRC specific content speaking to my experience the past couple years! Thanks for watching!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Sounds good. I enjoy reloading because right now it's the best way to take advantage of the 300 prc. Good stuff. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica P.S. If you ever find any H1000 and there is extra PM me or something. I have been looking forever lol.
Great video brother 👍

You rock man! To me,,,,you are an expert. Thanks for the videos. I think i am learning methodology here.

Awesome video! New subscriber sent from Texas plinking 👍
Awesome! Really appreciate you stopping by to check out my channel! If you’re into long range shooting I think you’ll enjoy what I’ve got in the works.
Great video and I'm sure really Fun to make!
Nicely done video; top of line equipment all the way around, plus a top of the line property. This is one of the best rifle videos I have ever seen, and I've seen a bunch :). One comment however, group sizes is measured center to center, not edge to edge.
Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel! Stay tuned in 2023 as I’m hoping to continue showcasing cool gear in the same area! Agreed groups should be measured center to center, not sure why I didn’t do that in this video.
You can measure center to center then do a little math for the bullet circumference, probably more accurate than the freyed edged measurements.
Man it would be awesome to have wide open spaces like that to shoot. You guys are lucky. Here in south Mississippi there are very few wide open spaces. The local range has a 100,200,300yd ranges and I have access to a friends land where he owns a couple 100 acre field where I can get out to 620yds. That’s the farthest I’ve ever been able to shoot. I’ve been doing it so much that ive had to start shooting @ 2-3” plates at that distance. The 8” to 12” targets have gotten pretty routine. Which says a lot because I started with an 18” target and just been working my way down 😂
Great video. I just finished my custom 300 RUM build. I’ve only got one day of load development I have a few more powders to try but it has 32” barrel and I’m pushing the 245 grain burgers and the 250 A-tips right at 3100 fps and it’s a monster. Can’t wait to take it out to 2500 yards
250 atips at 3100?? Holy cow! I did a little load development with the 250 atip in my mrad and was getting solid accuracy but only about 2775 fps. According to the shooter app the 230 atip running a little slower actually had better performance and stayed supersonic further so that’s what I decided to run.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica that’s perfect for the PRC. The 220 Berger’s will probably do a little better if you can get your hands on some. The RUM is a big case. Same capacity as the lapua case just a little longer and skinnier. I have them seated at 4.125. I tried rutumbo & reloader 33 and got 3100 & 3090. I have to try IMR 8133 & ramshot magnum & H50BMG this weekend to see how those powders do
@@timmcfarland3311 very nice, I had no clue 300RUM was capable of that kind of speed. I’m thinking I may give 300 NM a try in this mrad when barrel conversion kits become available again. Really cool to be able to compare different calibers side by side.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica I agree I always wondered about the RUM but never saw it loaded with heavy bullets always light weight hunting bullets and was never impressed with the speeds until I saw a couple built. The 300 Norma is awesome probably pretty close to the same but you can make magazine length I used a rem 700 so I had to stay with .550 bolt face
@@timmcfarland3311 300prc plus p rip down roundssssssssssss and no throat bs the RUM has . PRC plus p more efficient with 82gr of N570
You have to be Ron Howard's son! Your voice even sounds like his, uncanny!!! Lol Love watching your informative videos and they give me that "Happy Days" feeling with the Ron Howard vibe! Keep em commin!
This is awesome haha. It’s crazy how many comments I get about either Ron Howard or Bob Ross vibes. Thanks for watching!
It would be interesting to see the same comparison of the 300 PRC to the 300 Rum!🙏 But great video!
You know 300RUM is one I haven't even thought about. My next plan is 300PRC vs 300NM if I can ever get a 300NM barrel for my Mrad. Appreciate you taking time to watch!
I would be FASCINATED to sometime see you compare the 338 Lapua to the 416. I know you just got done saying the 300 family is a great value, but the 416 has always intrigued me.
LOVE the videos!
I'd love to see that too 👍
The .416 is a pure ultra-long range sniper round, just like the .408. No way the .338 can compete with those two.
@@ChicagoHOG27 Oh I believe you! But a video of them compared would be EPIC!
@@thomascee totally. Those three are all amazing guns.
Yea, they just came out with Barrett MRAD in .416. He's definitely going to need to get one of those! LOL
Just found this channel awesome videos 👌 would love to see you get a cadex and take it out to distance
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel! I’d love to feature a cadex on the channel…. I’ve got my eye on one of their rifles, just not sure if I’d shoot it enough to justify the price.
Thank you so much for this review ! Your conclusions make total sense ! I would love to jump into long range shooting with .338 Lapua , but I know there will be a learning curve that will cost a bit. Price difference on ammo is significant, so starting with 300 Win Mag will allow me to practice more and perhaps buy a better scope vs empty wallet and bragging rights because I invested into a wrong platform (.338 😜).
I’ll be dreaming about that Lapua for a while , but for now I’ll stick with 300 Win Mag
Thanks again ! Stay safe brother !
100% you will not regret going 300WM over 338LM. I still own my 338LM barrel but I literally never use it….. 300PRC and now 300NM do everything I want out to 2000ish yards for less cost and less punishment than the 338LM. In my opinion the only thing 338LM has going for it is the long range “street cred” it gets haha. Thanks for watching!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica - there is nothing wrong with bragging rights ! It’s a perfect conversation starter, or one of the “ I have one at home” comments. In your case, you can show one of your great videos and have an instant proof to your story !
Trust me, many of us dream about a gun like that every other night 😁 !
You are good people ! Like your videos and subscribed to your channel !
@@mar1video haha yes sometimes idea of a conversation starter is enough to keep something around! That said I don’t plan to sell the 338LM barrel, I like having it around and occasionally shoot it. Really appreciate the support! So much planned for the channel so hope you’ll stick around and stay tuned!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Hey man, which do you prefer between the PRC and the Norma? Might pick up an MRAD soonish and am stuck between the two
Amazing. The amount of time and effort just to shoot 10 rounds is admirable. I'm jealous you get to shoot out so far
Appreciate you taking the time to watch! I just picked up a 300NM barrel for the mrad so stay tuned for fresh content with it soon. Hoping to show how it stacks up to 300PRC and maybe 338LM.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Looking forward to seeing that! Debating right now between a 300 PRC and 300 Norma build.
@@AlecLCochran oh man that’s a really tough one…. I’m thinking my current opinion might surprise a lot of folks. Need more time on the NM to finalize that opinion but I’ll have a comparison video out this spring!
Great video. I’m a subscriber now.
Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel!
Incredible footage, content and land! Whereabouts is this? Looking forward to more videos as I’m not into either of these cartridges but the 300 PRC looks like it checks many boxes.
Eastern Washington state, a long range shooting paradise. 100% I’d say 300PRC will do whatever you are hoping to do, I’m a huge fan!
Dude, you're a really good shot. I remember when I was in the Army and having problems just finding the target at 300 yards. That was with iron sights, but still, I'm seriously impressed. Hitting that size target at a mile is seriously impressive. Nice job.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new 7mm PRC.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! Shooting out to a mile and beyond is really far, I think a bit of luck is needed as well haha. I also think the new 7PRC has a ton of potential, might be something I try down the road. Thank you for watching!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica 28 Nosler rip down roundsssss
@@MountainsMulletsMerica is the 7prc supposed to be more accurate/powerful than the 300 prc?
@@wcsdiaries while I’m aware of the 7PRC I can’t say I’m completely studied up on it. I doubt it’s more accurate or more powerful than 300PRC but I know it’s supposed to provide another very capable long range option. I’d expect it would offer similar performance to 300PRC with advantages of lighter recoil and likely flatter trajectory/ less drift. I’m sort of wanting to get my hands on a 7PRC barrel later this year if possible so I can get an idea of exactly how it performs. Stay tuned!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica let me know! I am trying to decide on my long range rifle caliber haha
It's amazing at that distance those bullets are so slow it looks like somebody's throwing them at the plate LOL I wonder if they'd be lethal at that distance still? Great video
Good shot brother.👍👍
Thank you!
You are literally holding my dream rifle. There are lots of amazing calibers but some are very expensive compared to 308 and will wear the barrel out much faster. I’d imagine that for someone just getting into longer range shooting that 308 would be fine out to 600 meters or so to get the fundamentals down especially when you will make a lot of mistakes and need to shoot a lot to learn. I keep thinking that I could build a custom Remington 700 but then I could use that money toward an MRAD. Man, that’s a gorgeous rifle!
Oh man, 308 is a great starting point for long range. For sure it’ll get you to 600 yds, but I’d say it’s more like a 1000 yd caliber with the rifle bullet. For sure starting with something like a 308 Rem 700 will allow you to build the fundamentals, then as you save up you could sell that and move into a nicer rifle. My opinion the mrad is a really hard rifle to beat! Stay tuned for more mrad content!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Thanks for the reply to my comment. I met a guy at my local gun store today who said that 308 Win with a 10x scope would not be adequate for precision rifle shooting because the targets are small and go well beyond the range of 308. He said you could have to shoot a target at 1000 yards that’s only 1 MOA wide and targets go even farther away than that. It sounds like a modern day version of Quigley down under shooting the bucket. The good thing about the mrad though is the ability to change calibers and if you wear out a barrel you can change it yourself. I believe the barrels are much more expensive for the mrad than a precision remington 700 barrel though.
@@Andrew-cm5tc ah man 308 win with a 10x scope is very capable. Check out my latest video with the old school sr25, I used that rig to make hits at 1000 meters. My experience is when folks are making comments like that it’s because they’ve likely never actually done whatever they are talking about. Regarding the cost of the mrad barrels, you are correct. They are much more expensive than a normal rem 700 barrel but the flexibility in not having to purchase another rifle/ optic helps offset some of the extra cost.
@@MountainsMulletsMericaI just brought home my mrad in 308 , now I also want a 300prc barrel lol . Great video !
Hey Triple M! First thing: Great videos! I appreciate all the technical explanations you give. Which range finder do you have mounted to the diving board? Thanks.
I have the Ruger precision in 338lm and am currently working on a 300prc custom build. I bought a AI stock to put my action in and have my glass already 5-35x50, timney trigger, defiant action, waiting on my barrel.
Enjoy the videos...subscribed.
Thank you! Really appreciate the support!
Hey Buddy, that's some great shooting.
Thank you! Amazing what a bit of luck can do haha
Great video! Very interesting! Have to say I just like your talking on the video. Easy to follow along. Good info with very little "eh" "uuh" and easy to follow along. Even a transcript would be readable. Subscribing
Awesome, thank you for watching!
Excellent
Great video!!😉👍 I appreciate all your time and effort!! What part of the country are these being shot at? 🤔👍😊
I'm located in eastern WA state, a beautiful area perfect for long range shooting! Thanks for watching!
Those look like shepard hooks used to hang your steel plates - could you confirm? Love your videos man 👍🏻
Awesome vid, great footage! Man, where are you recording? It's gorgeous out there.
Eastern washington state.... a long range shooting paradise!
Damn little brother!! If the world ever goes sideways, I want you on my squad!
Haha sounds good, you got a deal!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica awesome! Watching some of these crazy videos around the world and our own government, it might be soon. Pray it ain’t!
I didn't know that Ron Howard was into long range shooting. Just kidding. Great video!!
Ha everyone says I look like him!
Excellent video man
Thank you! I just picked up a 300NM barrel for the MRAD so stay tuned for fresh content with it soon!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica hell yeah that was a tough choice. Just picked up a 300 prc, but was waffling between that and the 300 nm.
@@WeLikeShooting oh man 300PRC is epic! You’ll love it
@@MountainsMulletsMerica my first mile shot was 300 prc in an mrad just like yours. Can’t wait to get it out
@@WeLikeShooting That rig almost makes shooting a mile seem easy haha
Great video. Could you do a comparison of the 338 Norma magnum Vs 300 PRC as the former has been selected by socom for their MRADs and also to partially replace 50 BMGs.
I have 338NM on my radar and hope to run across a barrel for my rifle within the next several months. If I can get a barrel I will for sure do a comparison. I also want to give 300 Norma a try
@@MountainsMulletsMerica that was the comparison I was going to ask for, 300 PRC vs 300 Norma mag, which should be a bit more apples to apples than 338
300 prc and less powder great idea dial in those long shots , i would stay on 1 dope and poa at those distances to see the variance and take time on each shots for proper pulls , imagine a 6 inch group 5 shots at 1465 yds
Thats a great set up you have, especially not have to need 2 rifles. the nightforce is awesome. Can you give us some idea of cost for a setup like this
Cool comparison. Thanks for making the video! Have never seen those kinds of rolling wheat fields here in Minnesota, If you don't mind, what state are you in - unless it's none my bizness!
This is eastern Washington, an area called the Palouse. Steepest farm ground in North America
19.7k subs at the moment +1. Lets see if you can break 100k by next year
Really appreciate the support! Be sure to tell your friends about the channel. Lots of fresh content in the works!
Just found your channel, love the videos and information man! At what point do you think the 338 would have an advantage over the 300 for ELR in terms of spotting your misses? Not sure how far you’ve taken these out, but I would guess there comes a point where the 338 wins out in that aspect. I currently have a 6.5 CM that I take out to 1200-1300 or so, beyond that it gets difficult spotting misses. For mile+ shots I was debating the 338, but after watching this I think the 300 PRC will suit my needs better (most of my ELR is probably going to be between a mile and 2500 yards)
You know that’s a great question… in my conditions which are super dry I don’t see an advantage in either caliber at extreme distances. I’ve taken the 300prc to 2600 yds with the 230 and I was able to spot every miss as well as the 1 round that hit. Other areas that don’t produce as much dust might find an advantage in the 338 but for me so far they are about the same
Weld a bit of angle to the back of your silhouette near the edge and drill a couple of holes in it. Then you have a flat surface for your indicator and can strap it on with some zip ties.
Great video, lots of good content and a fair comparison. Thanks.
Very good idea…. Been trying to come up with a way to keep the light from falling off the back of the target. Not an issue I have when shooting targets with smaller calibers haha
Pretty cool
Love the videos. Thank you for the hard work. Where do you find the barrel conversions for the MRAD?
Oh man the MRAD barrel conversions are a challenge right now. I bought both my 300PRC and 6.5CM barrels used off of different forums. Hopefully Barrett makes kits available again sometime soon as I really want to try 300NM.
I appreciate the feedback. Best of luck in your endeavors. Please provide a link for your instagram. I’ve been unable to find it. God bless.
Amazing you can see where your hits are at 1800 with that scope!
Oh man, not a problem with a quality scope and dirt that makes a little dust! Spotting your own impacts is critical to connecting at long range.
Great comparison video, not sure if you mentioned it but what angle is your position relative to the targets (roughly)
Cost and recoil advantage goes to 300PRC. Shooting 300 A-tip in the Lapua for a fair comparison, the 338 has a big advantage, especially at sea level. That said you shoot the 300 better. The recoil and muzzlebrake pull off seem to give you a bit of trouble in the 338, not much but you seem to have to correct more after the shot in the 338. Cool video! Keep them coming.
Edit. Just listened to the end of the video where you said pretty much the same thing about the recoil. I'd have to agree that the 300 is the way to go for most applications.
For sure I have to focus more on recoil control with the 338, to me the 300 is just much easier to shoot well. While I agree the 300 atip is a solid choice for the 300, I've actually been playing with the 255 ICBM solid copper bullet. BC of something like the 300 atip but the velocity of a light bullet. So far I've got a load developed and a couple hits at a mile and then I ran out of bullets. Been waiting for 3 months now to get my next batch to shoot on video. Hope they show up at some point......
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Cool, looking forward to seeing that. I find my 338 Lapua to be harder to shoot accurately than most of my other rifles. With the giant muzzlebrake any flaw in my form seems to be magnified. The 300PRC is pretty interesting.
Love your videos. Is the 300 PRC just as expensive as the 338 Lapua ?
Solid shooting!
Thank you!
Definitely jealous of that range you got there. Subbed. Would it be worth it to get a lab radar to keep check of your ammo's performance ?
Oh man for sure a lab radar is on my list of things to get! I run a magneto speed to chrony loads but I don't like to leave that on when shooting strings given it hangs on the barrel. Something like a lab radar would allow me to measure velocity on every round fired.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica why not get a mount that allows you to attatch the Magnetospeed to the handguard? I 3d printed one for pennies and it is a game changer.
@@TheMrkiddi Well primarily due to cost..... all the ones I've seen for sale are crazy expensive for what they are. I've attached the magnetospeed to the barrel for years and it's never really caused me any major issue. I'm not opposed to the rail mount idea but not going to spend a lot of money to do it haha
Last shot at 1810 with the 300 was righteous. You have the dream setup. Can't find this unicorn of a rifle anywhere in my caliber. Will you suppress? What scope mount are you rockin'? Thanks for the vid, please keep making them.
Thank you for watching! I've got more videos planned.... hoping to get an MRAD vs RPR video released in the next couple weeks. I searched about 6-8 months before finally finding this rifle to purchase, originally in 338LM. Since then I've been able to acquire the 300PRC and 6.5CM barrel. I was thinking I would sell the 338LM barrel after I got the 300PRC barrel but I really just enjoy slinging some 338s occasionally. I only plan to suppress the 6.5CM barrel mainly so I can shoot it at night, I prefer muzzle brakes on the bigger magnum calibers for recoil management. Scope mount is is a Spuhr 4016, super solid!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica For elevation, did you dial in the turret or adjust with the reticle?
@@reconhippy8352 depends on how far the shot is…. Shots that require about 10 mils or less I hold over in the reticle. Shots requiring more than that I dial as they get pretty far down in the reticle beyond 10 mils.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica - don’t sell your 338LM barrel , it’s a beauty !
Wondering if you notice a significant change in bullet drop after the sun begins setting and temps are dropping quickly. What i’m getting at is performance changes from starting your testing when sun is up and temps are warm and finishing when temp has dropped.
👍👍
Thanks for the good video
And thanks for no music and no snapchat voice filter etc
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel! I’m a pretty low key guy so just out here trying to create low key content haha. Lots of fresh videos in the works so hope you’ll stay tuned!
Oh so here you come with your little video making me think. I was going to go 300 PRC OR 338 Lapua. Then you show up with your fancy mullet and video camera and made me realize that if I get the MRAD and do both- So you owe me an adult beverage for making me spend more money. Good job with the video my man- Nicely done. Subscribed. Can I ask why you do 3 round zero instead of 5-10? Is it a cost thing or do you find 3 rounds is adequate. I did 3 rnd for a long time as my Marine life taught me to do until I found the joys of 5 round.
Haha thank you for supporting the channel! I can assure you, you will love the mrad. Yes it’s expensive but the flexibility it offer is next level.
Regarding groups, I’m fine with 3 rd groups for checking zero. If I were really trying to judge the accuracy of the rifle I’d be looking more toward multiple 5 rd groups. In my experience though once you are confident the rifle/ load can shoot, 3 rd groups will get you what you need on paper at 100 yds. That frees up more ammo for shooting on steel at distance. Thanks for watching!
