Long Range Build - 7PRC, 7BC, 300PRC?

all of these are effectively lethal 1400+ yards

Sounds about right.

if I can put the bullet in the right spot.

...which you are far more likely to consistently achieve when shooting a lighter-recoiling load.

That would mean all of these are effectively lethal 1400+ yards on elk if I can put the bullet in the right spot.

I honestly don’t know what the specifics are of those bullets and don’t care to look. Mono metal = 2200fps, bonded at least 2000fps, some match type 1800fps.

Why isn’t a 28 nosler on this list?!

At 20-22” barrel isn’t it about the same as a 7BC?

ADG sells brass for 7/300prc. So you can have 300prc case capacity and 7mm bullets

My most accurate loads that I hunt with in my 7PRC and 300PRC are the 175gr Elite Hunter and the 200gr CEB Lazer respectively. Both 22" barrels. the muzzle velocity, at 850 ft, with the 7 is 2,858, the 300 is 2,875. If I adjust that to 8,000 ft I am at 1,919 for the 7 and 1,817 for the 300. Either on will do the job but unless you find a higher velocity node 1,000 is about the distance envelope for both.
