For now a rather pedestrian 6.5-284 is working for my long range needs. And oh, not a lot the 6.5-284 can't do compared to a 6.5 PRC. But I digress.

I'll happily take the 7PRC strictly for reloading purposes of getting around the belt that they put on then 7 rem mag. Whoever invented that belt that serves zero purpose should be kicked in the nuts IMO
You're an idiot. It's called "headspace." It ensures that your gun will fire, and safely. It certainly had a purpose, and that belt still serves the same purpose.

You should be bitching at the guys who kept repurposing the H&H base case for every new "magnum" they wanted to peddle to the masses.

Can't you headspace off the shoulder after 1 fire form and adjust your FL die accordingly??

Also, doesn't the 7 mag have a history of pressure spikes hence the SAAMI 61K PSI??
I believe that pressure spikes in cases like the 7mm mag came from the time when IMR4350 and powders like H205 were popular in them. With powders like H1000 and Imr 7977 a 7 mm rem acts like most other cartridges......
