7mm PRC

[RBAlaska2325]

I’m sure there’s a lot of info already, just looking on a good starting point with powder, primers, and bullets for 7mm PRC. Selection is tough in SE Alaska. I’ve heard H1000 and I’m hoping I can use large rifle primers as I have a few thousand left. Looking to hunt everything from Sitka black tail deer to possibly Brown bear. Rifle is a left hand Weatherby Apex with 26” barrel.

My 7PRC hates H1000. Likes 4831SC.

180 ELDM or 180 Berger hybrid with 66gr. H1000/N565 or 69gr. N570.

I only use large rifle magnum primers though.

Probably fine with federal 210 LR primers. I've used them extensively in 300 WSM and did a little 300 WM testing. Wsm is shooting SDs in the single digits, so unlikely to have ignition issues. Generally got 30-50 fps less than magnum powders, but less pressure signs as well, so its possible to adjust the charge up a few tenths.
