Help finding ammo 7mm PRC

[mattmann]

Can ANYONE help me find federal premium 175gr ELD-X 7mm PRC in stock?? I’ve made the mistake of sighting my rifle in with this and it shoots lights out with it. I’ve got about 7rds left and am leaving to a texas aoudad hunt in 3 weeks for myself and my son. If anyone has any clue where or has some they would let go of, please let me know! Thanks!!

You try Hornady 175 ELDX?

What cartridge?

Edit - it looks like 7mm PRC.

Sorry everyone! It would have helped to mention 7mm PRC . Ammoseek doesn’t have any. My gun doesn’t like Hornady either.

I wonder if the federal fusion would work well?

If you do find the ammo, you're looking for, buy a good quantity that'll last for a good while. Even though it's the same bullet and manufacturer, it's a different lot number, and it may not shoot quite the same. You'll need to verify, and stash the rest of the ammo for the long run.

100%. I did this in backcountry and thought I would use it more than my PRC. Not the case unfortunately.

Ammoseek first, but Gunbroker second, especially when stuff is out of stock with retailers. It seems there's usually one or two suppliers on GB. Just found these posts:

EDIT: It's not federal, but it's 175gr ELDX.

Midway probably has the best selection in stock.
Maybe not your specific medicine, but lots of good options.

When you say your rifle doesn't like the Hornady ammo, what does that look like when compared to the Federal?

 

[Q_Sertorius]

I do find it interesting that it is so hard to find ammo for a new cartridge. It perplexed me so much that I spent a solid 30 minutes looking at all the sites.

There was one store in Montana that said they had some in stock.

Good luck with your search!

Didn’t group well for some reason. I have another box so I could try one more time. Also, it was quite a bit more inconsistent in the speed department.

I think I’m going to grab 5-6 boxes of the 175 fusion tip and see how far off my POI is from the 175 eld-x. If it’s close I’ll be happy. Seems like a lot of folks have great luck from them hunting. Anyone here try them?

I don’t think you are the first person to report experiencing that IIRC between the two brands with that particular bullet

Happy with this consistently.

I just ordered six boxes of the federal fusion polymer tip. I also ordered a leftover box that a user here had of the federal 175ELDX. I should have enough for the sheep hunt but when I get back, I will probably be changing over to the polymer tip. From the reviews I have read it seems to be pretty devastating on animals.
