Reloading 7PRC

[Runolfson]

Pic of Winchester LR primer. First shot and only shot! Yikes! Maybe a bad primer lot. Gonna call Winchester Monday.

Did the primer go in easy? Could this be a bad primer pocket?

No, it seated fine. The hole is in the side of the primer, which caused brass melt.

is your bolt face ok?

Nope. There is a divot by the ejector.

I just got a 7PRC rifle for hunting and target shooting and want to get into reloading. What dies do you recommend? Thanks!

I have the Forster Micrometer die set with the FL bushing resizer, but other die sets such as RCBS, Hornady or Redding are excellent too.

handloands in 2 7prc w/24" benchmark #5. One barrel was slightly faster than the other and each @ 3010fps

175 eld-x
ADG case
one @ 68.7gr n565, the other @ 69gr
both were consistent sub .5moa groups

I've only shot the handloads so far and i want to see how Hornady Precision Hunter stacks up. As of now, I don't handload but may go down that path if there's a big difference in consistency.

Thanks, what primer are you using?
