7 PRC Velocities / FACTORY Ammo

So sounds like hornady 7prc is still garbage and nowhere close to the velocities they claim on the box? I keep going back and forth about whether or not I want to rebarrel my 7mag but trying to sort out the actual gains is very difficult
I see it differently. While I love my 7mmRM, I am not able to shoot the heavies that I can out of 7PRC. To me, that is where the advantage is.
 
I’m now past 100+ rounds through this barrel and it looked to have been speeding up. I had number of rounds break 3,000fps. But turned out few boxes I had from same lot were just loaded lil hot.
Next lot# dropped off a bit.
All are Federal ELD-X
22” Proof carbon barrel / Tikka action.
That’s also my group at 400y. I’ll take that anyday.

Christensen Mesa FFT 7PRC 22" barrel. This is only my first box of ammo (Hornady Match 180 grain ELD Match) through it so still dialing it in...after 3x range sessions. And averaged together. Screenshot 2025-07-02 18.29.17.png
 
And through a Banish Backcountry supressor.
