How are you with recoil?
If it's an issue, I'd say stay away from the 300.
Also, most of the 300s I've seen aren't a gun I'd want to pack around.

They're not even close to the same thing.

They're based on the same parent cartridge, but the 6.5 PRC can use a short magnum action. The 6.5 PRC has about 200 FPS over the 6.5 Creedmoor. The 300 PRC is basically a newer design on the 300 WM. My 300 PRC is a 26" build, and I'm guessing I won't want to hunt with it.

The two arent in the same group.
Whats "long range" and what are you hunting?

If you want to hunt elk at long range go with the 300.

Thank you for the advice! I appreciate it. Recoil isn't an issue for me, so I think I'll stick with the 300 PRC.

You could always suppress her or put a brake on. I'm getting mine built and it'll have an Area 419 Sidewinder, but I have a suppressor I can swap it with.

.300 prc has loads more recoil, will most certainly require a brake.

I had its Daddy, the 375 Ruger. It wasn't light, but it wasn't too much to pack around. Only gun that ever scope cut me, but we did get along pretty well after that. I never had a use/need for the 375, but I really wanted to play with one. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy.
