New 7mm PRC

[bmart2622]

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

That’s worth $1200 for a new rifle.

Its designed to shoot heavier bullets. Hows your rifle do with 180s?

Loves em - cuz it's a .30

This whole thing is starting to be like this:

You dont have a 7mm?

With 162 Eldx it does this



And this



And this





Why would I care about another 18 grains of bullet?

Here’s a flashback on case design… the 2000s. Faster, more accurate, less recoil! Get you some, now, you’ll be the talk of the woods!

Not knocking anyone that wants to get the 7 PRC or any other rifle, just saying it’s more marketing than it is innovation. The 6.5CM and 300 PRC were great additions but now they’re milking those concepts. I get it just not excited as other guys.

Those super shorts are so horrible looking. The 25 wssm seems to stick around though

You might not but other people would. The 7 prc fills a gap that your 7 rem mag cant

By that logic you should just shoot 165s out of your 30 cal and not 180s

Yeah only arguably the 3 most popular calibers right now

Popular or talked about? I will make a bet if we could provide the data, that there are more animals killed(or carried in the woods) this year with a .300wm or .270 than any of the new fancy Hornady calibers. Wounded may be a different story. (I kid...sort of). Don't mistake popular for buzz.

Go to your local gun store and ask what they sell the most of!! It wont be 270

not even close to the 3 most popular....6.5crd fits in one of the top spots for sure. but the PRCs are way down the list as far as overall volume on the market. Not saying they are Duds but "arguably" is a huge understatement.

 

[bmart2622]

Hell of alot more 6.5cm, 6.5prc, and 300prc rifles on the shelves than anything else

That’s because you can’t find ammo for them.

Its because they dont sell like the Creedmor and PRCs do

 

[MTMeatHunter]

No one has mentioned the fact that you could buy a factory rifle in 7 PRC and have the twist rate and potentially the magazine to load some pretty heavy monos, like the 177 Hammer Hunters. I mean, that’s pretty cool to me but I understand not everyone cares about monos.

 

[amassi]

Another caliber you won't be able to find ammo for?

My buddy has 25 wssm, shoots great but has trouble cycling. Sure would hate to locate brass for those rounds these days.

I don't understand why someone that drives an awesome and capable 1962 Chevy (7mm Rem Mag) needs to fuss at the the guy driving the 2022( insert your favorite here) truck? I am late to the shooting game in life and grandpa did not hand down a classic capable rifle and sit around the fire and extol the benefits of the mighty 30-06. All I know is my first quality rifle in my 50s was a Fierce 6.5 CM and one day I tightened up my top knot, took aim and killed my first deer. Boom flop! More Kool-aid please. Then it was on to the 300 PRC, 6.5 PRC and now it will be the 7 PRC. I do not need to change shell holders on the press now.

The shelves at Cabelas suggest 270 and '06 ammo are in high demand.

Was in the store yesterday talking to the counter guy about a 410 on the shelf.
Said no one will buy it cause there is no ammo to feed it.
