I'd love to see how 7 PRC fits in to this comparison chart!
-
Thank you, this was really helpful. Was considering my first prs rifle. Looks like the 6cm is best bang for buck

So this is a cool video, and I think it's worth mentioning that it's a bit of a remake and seems to be definitely influenced from a great youtube series called Sniper101 from TiborasaurusRex from 11 years ago. This take on it is a little updated, but Sniper101 is definitely worth checking out. it's a multi part series with a TON of good basic info. He does 3 or videos on cartridge dynamics, bullet selection and cartridge selection and it was those videos and his charts that got me started in long range over a decade ago.

OUTSTANDING Comparison. Great stuff to consider based on purpose of the rifle and application.

This was freakin awesome!!! Thank you.

I really appreciate you walking us through a comparison of cartridges Caylon. The extra commentary is very helpful too. I'm really surprised your channel doesn't have 10's of thousands of subscribers.

After this video, i donât understand why the main marks are stop of making the long range rifle platform in 7mmRM caliber. I love that caliber and i have some problems on find a new long hunting rifle with the 7mmRm. Right now only find 6.5creemoor, 308 and 300wm in every single company. Thank so much for that amazing video. You have a new subscriptor. Loving your channel

That was a great clip thankyou. Which powder do you run in the saum? and are you running a break or a supressor? im thinking about getting rid of the big 30 and going saum.

that took a lot of work...well done

So a year late to the party on this video but for anyone reading looking at the 30 Cal's, I've had better results with both the 212 ELD-X and the 215 Berger HT out of 300 PRC with a 24" barrel. While the 230 has a higher BC its a small difference and the boost in muzzle velocity means that the intersection where the 230 starts to beat the 215 isn't until like 1050 meters (close to 1200 yards- .354 G7 for the 215 vs .368 for the 230). Now that's my numbers with my handloads out of my rifle on my range. I also only played with H1000 and saw better relative performance put of the 215's than the 230's. 3015 fps vs 2840 with better ES/SD. Your mileage may vary. But it's worth looking at the 215's for the 300 PRC/300 Win Mag class of cartridges if you're a 300 magnum guy. I've got too many big bears around, I like having the big bullet with a big frontal diameter đ€Ł
