7 PRC Velocities / FACTORY Ammo

[morgaj1]

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.

And through a Banish Backcountry supressor.

Shot a brand new Seekins Ph3 22” barrel. Rounds 9-13 out of the rifle. With 7” sico .30 custom suppressor.

Two shots per ammo type-

Hornady 180 ELDM - 2843 FPS/2795FPS
Hornady 175 ELDX - 2824FPS/2822FPS

Will measure more - goal is to track to 100 rounds and see, also going to pick up some Norma to try.

Federal 175 eldx was running fast last weekend. Avg was 3025fps - 40 rounds/2 boxes. This is the same speed as my handloads w/same 175g eldx bullet. 24” barrel / 6” suppressor

Nice rifle! That would be my next purchase, but in a 30 caliber.I have two neighbors who have them, one in 300PRC. It shoots stupid good.
