Ive heard a lot that they can be a finicky bullet... any idea why?

I may try a hammer or something if these dont work out

I tried them and found there was a good amount of weight variance between bullets; that's why I mentioned weighing them and matching them by weight. When I had my PRC, I ran the 175 ELDX.

I know a guy using 177 hammers but from a 28 Nosler. I used 143's from my 7stw. This 7prc is using 12gr less powder than my stw, I don't think it has the oomph <wallop> for a 170 solid.

Gotcha. Yeah I could drop back in weight too. Those bullets are just spendy enough I want to pick one that will work if I order them. Or maybe ill just put up with the ELDX and roll with the 175s

Gotcha. Maybe ill give that a shot. I still have most of a box of them. My other 7 runs the 175s really well but its a bit heavy to hunt with

I would guess somewhere above 3/4 of an inch

I may have to. Im a big fan of the original accubond that I shot out of the 300 wby. Ibe tried the ABLRs in the 300 B, 2 different 7 PRCs, a 300 prc and a 6.5 prc. None of them seem to love the bullet. Its a shame since in theory it strikes me as a perfect hunting bullet. I may just go back to the regular AB or try something mono for variety

To 600 yards from a 7 PRC you should have enough velocity for mono’s. I’ve had good accuracy and terminal results from the 145 LRX out of my 280 Rem at a MV of just over 3,000.
