Spending a whole bunch of money on a custom high-end-ish ELR gun without actually having a place to shoot ELR or having even done it before is a good way to pick the wrong gun. Ditto for a PRS gun. You really really do not need that much to shoot at a thousand yards, and the gun is arguably the least important piece.
I do agree that getting into 300 PRC or 338 LM without the capability to reload is going to be even more of a waste of time. 338, in particular, is $4-$6 a pull from the factory, and 300 PRC is literally non-existent these days. You don't need to do F-class-style reloading, but being able to fill those used brass cases yourself is basically a requirement for being able to shoot them with any amount of frequency.
I won't even get into Kestrels and LRFs. The long-range game is the only thing more expensive than 3gun.
