    Any reason not to use a 300 PRC for Plains Game??

    My 300 PRC is equipped with premium bullets, which I would use for PG. If you use the appropriate bullets, there's no reason it won't function. It will be more influenced by the rifle than by the bullet.

    Scope Setting for Cape Buffalo?

    Easy: just keep it at 1x. As soon as you realize you need more, turn the intensity up a little and shot. I have never adjusted the power settings for the giraffe at 80 yards.

    All incomplete trophies, I've been told, must be sent to a facility approved by the USDA. I know you should be able to have it transported to your house if you so choose, but that doesn't always happen.
