Pardon his theatrics and conspiracies. Take note of the data though. It tells a valid tale.


IMO the reason for this is understanding the history of the PRC cartridges. George Gardner took the 7mm rem SAUM and made a 6.5 with it, His thinking was run a bigger case but at lower pressure for barrel life. Some people thought it was a success. It didn't make sense to copy the 6.5 saum that GAP was promoting so they worked together and developed the 6.5 PRC. The Truth is the 6.5 PRC runs about like a hot loaded 6.5-284. I think the same line of thinking applies to the 7mm PRC. either way you autta be rolling your own with the 7mm prc and you can load it up how you want. I like the PRC cases because you can get a bit more without the stupid belt on the case.
