7prc factory ammo

[Badlandoutdoors]

So long story short I finally purchased a chronograph and was able to get some speeds on my ammo. I’m shooting a seekins element 7 prc with 22” barrel. Shooting the Hornady factory eldx I was getting around 2780. I know Hornady 7 prc has been well document as slower than advertised. But I’m wondering are there other factory ammo offerings in that 170-180grain range I could try to see if I can up the speed a bit? Anyone have real life speeds on federal ammo? Or should I consider going with a custom manufacturer like Choice?

Thanks in advance.

There are a bunch of post on this already. But, Federals is running to their posted velocity or even a little faster.

Lots of threads detailing this, but yeah, federal is where it's at.

Expect 22" Barrel and federal 175 ELD-X in the low to mid 2900s and terminal ascents higher.

Barnes is the fastest in my tests but it is a 160. I’ve had it in the 3040 range out of my 22” alpine ct. (ignore the average as I was testing other loads alongside it)
The federal eld-x 175 averaged 2955 out of the same barrel
