Seekins PH3 7mm Rem Mag

[OpsMan]

Anyone have the PH3 in 7mm REM Mag? See it comes in 1:8 twist and looks like you could really seat the bullet out a ways in that mag. It’s been discontinued and prices are couple hundred less than the PRC. I reload and wondering if grabbing one of these discounted and being able to load 175’s further out (3.4-3.5”) and I would assume you’d meet or exceed the 7prc ballistics. Anyone have one in REM Mag or is the 7prc model rad enough to just pony up extra $.

7RM is a capable cartridge. The nice thing about 7prc is the SAAMI 1:8 twist for heavy bullets. My 7RM kills things dead with 162gr ELD-M bullets from a Steyr 1:9 twist 25.6" barrel. Furthest kill is 505yd on an elk, one shot, double lung, ran 20 yards then stumbled and slid about 20yd down the hill. Dead in under 20 seconds.

Since the Seekins 7RM has a 1:8 that's a plus and should allow you to step on it.

I would look at Peterson "long" brass for it. There is a video on the link below showing the benefits.
