Hahaha - heck if it drove a mag length 180gr ELD from a Tikka mag I’d probably buy it.

Having owned several 300 WMs and currently own two 7mm RMs, I think the 7mm PRC is the best of both worlds. 180 projectiles have a higher BC in the 7mm, the case is a "modern design" (sans belt, less taper, sharper shoulder, caliber length neck) and is well suited for longer bullets. I can't imagine a better Rocky Mountain Mule deer / Elk cartridge.

I'm thinking a .270-6.5 PRC using 140 Bulldozers. Recoil very similar to 6.5 PRC with 143 ELDX, .650 bc, 50-80 fps faster, greater frontal area, Remington 700 short action, 7lb weight including scope. Or the .277 150 Bulldozers with .710 bc at 3050 fps using the .270 WSM case. I can get 4 in the mag easily with the .270-6.5 PRC case, but can't get the first of the 4 rounds to feed right, the other 3 feed good. Three WSM rounds feed good.

This is how I'm seeing the 7 prc. The other prc rounds are almost too long for most actions. The 7 leaves you plenty of room in most LA actions. I like the shoulder angle and the belt less design along with the tighter throating specs and faster twist barrels. I was thinking a anTi action and a 22" 8 twist fluted #4 brux before defiance raised their prices $600. Mag have to go back to an origin even though the top isn't as open as I like. At least they can eject flat instead of into my windage turret and back in the action.
