The 7mm PRC is Here

[J&A Outdoors]

The push for medium length magnum cartridges along with aftermarket components have been steadily rising for 2 years.

BIG push - I see it being a big hit - especially with the tikka DIY'ers!

Yep
Losh they would have fixed the web Dia issue but someone will release a reamer to fix it.

Maybe they have. And seeing how Hornady doesn't chamber the rifles they have no control over how chambers are cut

Man, and just as the creamed-up 7SAUM crew was organizing their ranks!....wonder how many are gonna jump ship??

Kinda hard to be in the rack when it hasn't even been built yet

It was sarcasm, move along.

What's the web diameter issue?

Not enough clearance, case web grows but doesn't get sized back down and creates "clickers".

Of course they do since they designed the reamer specs.

There is no clicker issue if you shoot factory. The majority of gun owners do not reload. They buy the rifle, scope, rings, bases, sling, and two boxes of ammo off the shelf and go shoot a paper plate group at 100 yards and call it good. Then go wound animals and not recover them.

Yep just shoot factory

And those that reload never only wound game and never fail to recover an animal.

Got it.

My 300 win shoots a 210 @ 2950 wtf would I want a smaller bullet with more wind drift doing the same speed for.

Of the 180 7mm and 210 30 cal bullets i'm familiar with, BC tends to favor the 7s. So not only would it have less wind drift than your 30 cal, it'd be more pleasant to shoot. Less wind drift, less recoil = more hits, more fun. At least thats wtf I choose a 7 over my 30s at times.

This'll probably make a really nice 30. Bets on how long it'll take someone to do that? As said by others brass supply will be the deciding factor.

I'm sure it wont be long but seems like wasted effort to me when its probably just a hair more capacity than 300wsm.

This thread is great. Lol

but they had nothing to do with the actual chambering just because they designed it dsnt mean those who actually cut the chambers went by exact specs

My 338 lapua shoots a 250gr @ 3100fps wtf would I want a smaller bullet with more wind drift doing LESS speed…

See what I did there.

Depends on the bullet.. a 180 ELDm @ 2950 would beat a 250 338 berger @ 3100 fps handily when it comes to wind drift.

I'm looking forward to what actual case volume is. Sounds like it'll basically be a 7 WSM level performance with better factory support. There are still benefits to the more moderately sized SAUM case.

 

[mossyoak52]

Truly doesn't matter because the simple fact is because it was Hornady that designed it somebody is gonna find fault with it
As has already been proven

What specs do you think factory rifles are going to be chambered too? Maybe, just maybe, SAAMI?

Who do you think submitted the reamer specifications to SAAMI? Hornady has everything to do with every 7 PRC that will ever be cut with a SAAMI reamer, which will be 99% of them ever produced.

7mm 180g bullets are already hard enough to get ahold of. Now the 6.5 crowd will be graduating to the 7PRC once the marketing machine is turned on. Wonderful.

Factory ammo functions fine it's hand loads at develop the problem has nothing to do with reamer design if it did even facory ammo would have problems .
From what I hear and read it's hanladers that develop issues
I have a 6.5 prc and a 300 prc in a factory chambered x bolt I've fired hundreds of rounds down both I've yet to develop the dreaded clicker problem with either so I'd have to say it's a handloading issue more then a design issue

 

[WeiserBucks]

The design issue creates the handloading issue. Handloading doesn't create reamer issues. People using factory ammo would never know or care.

Never had a gunsmith mess up a chamber becausehe didn't take his time cutting the chamber ,used a dull reamer cut it to fast etc ?? I suppose that's the manufacrures fault also
Have a good day.
