7mm prc ammo

[Ridge86]

What are people’s experience with the hornady ammo for the 7prc? Interested to know your feedback? Thanks

Shot a box of the Hornady Eld-X today from a 20” Carbon Six barrel. First time trying, distance was 100 yards. Accuracy was very good, 1/2 MOA. Not sure if that says more about the barrel or the ammo though.

Did you chrono?
Wondering about velocity and SD
I have a 20" proof on order

Following. I have 80 eld-m and 80 eld-x coming this week.

Will be shooting over a chronograph soon.

Really interested in the CX bullet as well but haven't found any yet.

Did you have it braked? How was the recoil?

I have a 22” carbon 6 barrel coming soon. Glad to hear it shoots good

I did not chrono this trip. Just wanted to get it sighted in, make sure everything worked, etc. I will chrono it though, but may swap the scope (SWFA) first. The turret sits right where the rounds come out, so had some deflecting off the turret and some bouncing back in. A little bummed by that.

Recoil is there, but not terrible. On par or just slightly more than a 7RM. Rifle weighs 8 lbs 10 ounces and has no break or suppressor. Intent is to put a suppressor on it whenever the NFA approves my paper work (only 180 days past my 90 day mark).

I got 2887 from the 175 eldx from the seekins element new gun so I'm sure it will speed up a bit

That a 22" tube? For me in other calibers, the Hornady stuff has always been a bit slow... but that's still pretty dang fast for a 175 grain bullet IMO...

Ya it is the SD was 9 and es was 17 on a small 3 shot scale, I'm working on a 175 berger elite right now.

Showing good accuracy but the numbers weren't very good.

Let us know how the Berger 175 elite shoot

Not worried about speed with a group like that. What was the speed?

 

[BRETTSHORNS]

It was 2740

Sounds like the low node... might hit another node or two

 

[BRETTSHORNS]

Ya I think so too but the SD and es were not good any suggestions? Primers or just keep loading up?

I have shot about 60 rounds total of the Hornady Precision Hunter (20) and the Match (40) ammo in my new CA Ridgeline FFT, which liked the match over the PH, .67" vs about 1.5". I'm going to start working up a hand load with RL26 and 180gr match bullets and looking for recommendations on where to start?

Midway had some up this morning. Grabbed a couple boxes.

I have heard RL26 is what Hornady is using in their factory ammo. I'd start around 62-63. I believe 67.1 is their book max for the eld-x.

Also interested in the Rl-26/180 Eldm combo as that is what I have to work with once I shoot a little more factory ammo.
