7 PRC factory ammo (Best options)

[QuickTrigger7]

Looking at the Barnes LRX long range, anyone have any real experience. Wasn’t to impressed with federal 175edlx. Heard Hornady is finally reaching speed on a few of there boxes. Wanting something consistent to shoot long range if needed.

Any recommendations appreciated

Might look at Barnes Harvest ammo using Sierra tgk. Another option is Norma Bond Strike.

80rd average with Hornady Precision Hunter (same lot) was 2852fps in a 24" barrel. Hornady published velocity in 24" barrel is 3000fps...

I can't comment on the terminal performance on the Barnes, however at the range it's been promising. Very consistent shot to shot with a 20rd mean velocity of 3009, published is 3050.

Federal Terminal Ascent 170gn doesn't shoot (for me) as well as the barnes with a 40rd average velocity of 3003fps published 2950. Again, can't speak to how it performs on game.

I'd be keen to try the Barnes Harvest / Sierra combo when I can find it locally.

I was going to suggest trying 170gr terminal ascent as I think it’s a great bullet BUT I can’t find it in stock anywhere. Why is 170gr terminal ascent seemingly impossible to find? Any ideas?

The 170 terminal ascent is what my gun shoots best. Significantly better than Hornady. Sub half in groups at 100 very happy for factory ammo

I’ve been really happy with Hornady 175 grain ELD-X Precision Hunter in my gun.
