New 7mm PRC

[VinoVino]

I believe all the Tikka actions are the same length

Right. Would probably just need a magnum bolt face

Sorry poorly stated. What Tikka calibers would be a good donor for a barrel swap to the 7PRC?

300WM or 7 Rem Mag would be the easiest to convert with just a barrel swap. Short action magnum models like the WSMs could work too if you change out the bolt stop.

Correct

How long until someone necks it down to 6.5?

Curious now

You get an additional 135 yards of potential killing distance. This may or may not matter depending upon the individual and what their "ethical" shot distance happens to be.

Disclaimer(s):
* Ethical distance subject to change more frequently than said WKR's underwear while in the field.
* Excluded energy as this is Rokslide and it does not matter.
* Excluded drop as this is Rokslide, where we all dial, so figuring how far over somethings back to hold does not matter.
* Excluded wind drift as this is Rokslide, we all hold for wind, so figuring out Kentucky windage does not matter.

That would be a better round than the current 6.5 prc/270 win round.

For those asking, Someone on the 7mm prc fb group has already built a 6.5 x 7mm prc. Said they couldn't help themselves.

I just wish they'd come up with a 6.75mm PRC.

What kind of numbers did they get?

This is what they posted.

These new 6.5s and 7s are good news for those of us shooting the old ones. Should make it a little easier to find brass for our 28s, 7 rms, etc...

Hopefully

By this time next year the new kid on the block will be a 338 PRC

I present the .22-7PRC, courtesy of TS Customs. It’s a joke but they do a 6-6.5 PRC that’s a screamer. I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to a 6.5-7PRC.

Waiting on that 6.8 Western-7 PRC…

Need to fill that gap.

If someone offered factory brass for the 6 PRC, I’d probably have that cartridge. I don’t need it and it’s totally impractical for me, but I would have one. Lol

Ain’t that the 6.8 western?

Folks forget that 6.5 mm is actually a 25-06

Wait...what?? .... .264 and .257 ain't the same critter. Or are they?

 

[Pharmseller]

150 fps faster at the same powder charge as my 7mm Rem Mag using 162 eldx.

That’s worth $1200 for a new rifle.

6.5 PRC Magnum?

I was thinking 6.5 SPRC

Super Precision Rifle Cartridge or Spark
