Adamantite armor is a great start. Best you can get up to this point. But Clockwork Rifle really won't work as Zoro said. It has too low damage output per shot, since Skeletron Prime has so much defense. Crystal Storm is decent, but make sure you get lots of mana potions with the Mana Flower in order to keep a steady stream of fire to kill him before day. Also, you might want to invest in an Adamantite Repeater if you do prefer to use range, as it has much higher damage, although it does have lower DPS than the Clockwork Rifle, in the end, the potential splash from Hellfire Arrows as well as the buff from the Archery Potion will make the weapon much more effective.
