7PRC and N565

IMO, Peterson is a lower tier brass than ADG or Lapua;. but, I havent used it in years. Perhaps its gotten better?

If a guy wants to save a little coin but still get really good brass, Starline is a good option, just not yet for a 7prc - last I checked.

Lately, Norma's been really good for me in a few cartridges, and I recieved 100 of it in 7 PRC for free, so I started there with loading. Initial development wirh N565, Berger 180 VLD-h, 215's showed good accuracy promise at 67-68.5 grn and no signs of pressure. Loading HCA mag length. Will go to 69 or 70 to see where that's at, but happy at 68-68.5, so will likely settle there if tight groups continue. Barrel near new, so will tweak it again after several hundred.

I love starline, best bang for the buck. But I wrote them a few months ago to inquire about 7prc and they replied that they have no plans to make cases for that any time soon.
