Looking to go 7mm flavor.....
Can a 6.5 PRC bolt face handle a 7 SAUM case? 7 Sherman Short?

What action is it? PRC uses a magnum bolt face which is the same among all of the WSM/SAUM cartridges. 7 SS is a wildcat based off 7 SAUM that plays nicer at short action mag lengths with long bullets. If it is a long action you can do any of the long action magnums as well.Looking to go 7mm flavor.....

7 PRC won't fit in a short action anyway.I'd go 7 SAUM due to brass availability alone. You've got Norma, Nosler, ADG, and Remington to choose from all which is good brass. 7 WSM only has Winchester and Hornady to my knowledge, Winchester brass is good but near impossible to find most of the time like Remington brass, and Hornady brass is soft garbage. Everything I've ever loaded with Hornady brass has has half of the primer pockets toast on the first firing, second firing does in most of what's left.
I wouldn't even consider a 7 PRC until someone other than Hornady starts putting out brass.
SAUM will also be easiest on the barrel.
