    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    Sorry, I just saw this. This is the 162 ELDX. He now has some ADG brass in, and he thinks they will handle a little bit more pressure than the Hornady brass.

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    Can I get velocity numbers from you please? I was getting 2770 feet per second with the factory 175 that I got when I bought the rifle. The person that does my reloading said they showed pretty solid, ejector marks. We shot those and reloaded them with the 162 ELDX and was getting 2877 ft./s. We...

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    I was getting 2780 out of my 20 inch benchmark with the 175 grain. I was looking for a little bit more speed and ended up with 2877 ft./s with the 162s. Not saying that it was the right thing to do, I do like the BC of that 175’s. I just have about 65 to 70 rounds through it, and maybe those...

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    I could not be happier with this rifles accuracy, and feel in general. This was built by Hill country rifle,’s. 20 inch benchmark number five contour. The factory 175 ELDX bullets shoot basically one hole at 100 yards. I only got a chance to shoot it out to 200 and put eight rounds down the...

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    I’ll check with the company that built mine. I thought they said that the 20 inch would be available. The owner was very partial to the benchmark 20 inch. I went in that direction and I have been extremely happy so far. Some say that the proof is a little faster of a barrel, I don’t know if...

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    Yes, I believe you are correct about that. I’m sitting on a 22 inch pre fit, as I wanted a 20 inch barrel as well. I went with the 20 inch benchmark(steel) number five contour, but if I am not mistaken, they said that they would have 20 inch proof pre-fits in in the next 3 to 5 months.” don’t...

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    On the first build, the proof research 20 inch is not a pre-fit? proof makes the pre-fits that just basically screw on to the tikka action.. I believe this to be true if somebody can chime in

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    280 AI great cartridge as well. I just think it needs the 24 inch barrel. Almost pulled the trigger on one of those. I don’t know if I would’ve have said its a sexier cartridge.😉

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    It’s not gonna have the velocity of the PRC in a 20 inch barrel. I don’t believe. Study the two cartridges. Then make a decision. 2877 ft./s with a 162 grain bullet out of a 20 inch barrel it’s pretty impressive.. only 25 rounds down the barrel so I’m being told I could expect anywhere from 30...

    7mm PRC Build with a 20" Barrel - Elk Rifle for 2024 - Advice?

    Hill country rifles. is a company that a couple of friends have used out of new Braunfels Texas for quite a few years. I have a proof tundra that is a phenomenal rifle, but went with Hillcountry on the 7 mm PRC at the advice of these two friends, I was skeptical, if for no other reason the...

    7mm prc, how short is too short?

    I apologize no glasses and using Siri. ADG brass should be delivered soon (he says) and from what I am being told, lapua is all going to the Ukraine and difficult to get. When I say lapua, I’m not saying 7PRC, I’m just saying the majority of their brass. So I’m told. Now do I know this...

    7mm prc, how short is too short?

    I’m sorry I’m out to dinner. When I purchased my gun, they guaranteed me up to 100 rounds of the ELDX ammo. So I suppled roughly 75 rounds, or rather brass for him to use. When his lapua or ADG brass comes in, he will make me more ammo.. Lapua we may not see for a while. I’m hearing it’s all...
