[QUOTE="forindooruseonly, post: 3819275, member: 13718"] I don't have a Bergara but I've played with the PRC a bit in a Remington. The only real benefit of a factory chambered PRC over a Win Mag is that they are throated and have a barrel twist rate to accept the heaviest of bullets, whereas with the Win Mag you'd have to have a custom barrel, and depending on the firearm, different magazine boxes and some work to ensure the COAL will fit. Wyatt makes boxes to fit long cartridges in Remington Actions, so it's not new. That has been done for a long time already. In terms of the ballistics, they are essentially identical. Oh, and they aren't a belted case, for those reloaders that don't like dealing with the belted case of the Win Mag. I guess any comment I make would depend on what you wanted to do with it. For hunting? Not worth the trouble. For serious long range target work or competition? Maybe, but I'm not convinced it's the best choice. Just to get it because it's there and a hot cartridge right now with the sniper crowd and is a fun toy? Sure, why not. [/QUOTE]
