Where will it be chambered in factory rifles?
Google was useless as usual.

Has it even been officially announced other than the saami certification? This guy had one made - https://backfire.tv/7mm-prc/

Looking at the projected data, A 180 grain Hornady ELD-x is just entering the tran-sonic zone at 1.3 mach at 1400 yards. Looks good to me.

Read the linked article as well as couple others in the last couple weeks. Promised myself that I wasn't gonna do another build, and I'm gonna stick to that. 7PRC will find a home in the market, but I'm pretty well set in the 7mm department with a couple 280s, a couple 280AIs, a 7 SAUM and a 28 Nosler.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Says so in the link you posted. “Hornady revealed in an interview on the Backfire Youtube channel that they plan to officially announce the cartridge on October 26, 2022 at the NASGW Expo.” I’ll work on clarity; my wife tells me I struggle on occasion.

Should be ballistic magic.... I think you should talk to Hornady and SAAMI about the B29. Think of all the money you'll make.

Should be ballistic magic.... I'm thinking it would a modernization of the 7mm RM (a personal favorite), updated shoulder and no belt. Much like the 300 WM could use, no belt, 30 degree shoulder, .308 neck. Not necessarily better ballistically, just a better case design. Never liked the way belts stack up and take room in a magazine.

Even in my pre 64's that hold 4 and my sporter m1917 that holds 5 magnum cartridges. If I could only get 5 and a 1/4 rounds in, that would be the schidt right there..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

If it's ballistic magic why would you need more than one shot ?

I love new stuff, probably more than most, but I think I just waited 7-8 months to get ADG 6.5 PRC brass.. I do think Hornady will have a winner if they can supply enough components to keep one fed. I already have a 7 Mashburn, 7 WSM, a couple 280's, so it doesn't really do anything the others don't, but to a fella that wants a factory gun, set up right from the get go, with good factory ammo it'll likely be a winner.

That would be a damn fine cartridge in .277". GR

And something new that Hornady will focus on to the detriment of more obscure cases that they jumped on when they became "hot" such as the 9.3 x 62 and 7 SAUM, etc. So we wait "forever" up here in Canada for even "regular" and familiar cartridge cases - till the next order goes out from a supplier that takes over a year to be partially filled! So I'm gonna wait "forever" for a rifle in 7 PRC and forever more after that for Hornadys ammo so I can create some handloads - oh wait (some more) for the dies, etc, while my .458 Mag is languishing for new components - I DON"T THINK SO !!!!!! The hoarding that's going on now is the result of fear and greed! And just add to that a "new" 7 mm creation the NOBODY needs! Rant over!  Bob www.bigbores.ca

And what does it offer that you can’t find in an existing cartridge?
