+1. I too built a 7prc, put 10 rnds downrange and took it apart. It now wears a 25-6.5 prc barrel. Should put 134g pills downrange at 2950 instead of 180’s. Lose some bc .401 vs .325 but with 30% less recoil.

25-6.5prc sounds wicked. I'm wondering how fast a 22-6.5prc would go....

See Post #50.

22 prc

Will SAAMI come out with a 22 PRC? (or for that matter a 6mm PRC or 25 PRC?) It's not SAAMI that does such things. Someone develops it and then submits it to SAAMI for approval. Best question is will Hornady do it? I'd think they would be the most likely ones.

May have missed it but didn't see it as a suggestion, I say 284 Win > 280AI. I know the Ackley cartridges are all the jazz, but I've never had issues sizing brass until I tried to bump those sharp ass shoulders. I stuck like 5 cases the first time I sized my lot. Pissed me off so bad I had it rechambered in 284 Win. Shorter throw, more room in the mag, same ballistic performance, easy sizing operation. I do recommend having a savvy gunsmith chamber and custom throat it with a .2845" reamer to whatever weight-ish bullet you want to load for it though.
