Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Guess what the 7mm PRC will never be? A 30/06

This. The classics are always gonna be classics, but Im always excited to see the new stuff that people come up with

You could always take a pic,with today's date,with "all" that ammo and REALLY "show" her. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

Chose a 308 Winchester in 1978 for my first hunting cartridge. I still do today. I have 8 of them. Though I have other chambering, I still prefer my 308.

The 308 Win started by looking at the 300 Savage! 2 great cartridges!

I certainly agree! And I'm not against new, but after I finally got a 30-06, it just became so plain, the versatility of this cartridge for really every continent, is unreal! RB statement of the 7mm PRC, never being a 06, it's true. But that don't take away from some very extreme possibilities for it!
I'd still like to have an old Mauser in 7x57, but don't need it! And my favorite rifle for around here is still one my 30-30's Levers, just love em! But the 7PRC, it don't interest me, but the old 300 Savage, that's interesting! It's a wonderful world this gun world!

Once the Good Lord created the .338Win Mag he saw that it was Good and took the next day off. 😀

I run a .308, have for years. Before that, it was an ‘06. Both have done what I needed, never felt I needed more. I live in southern MO, not more than a 300 yard shot where I hunt, and all my deer but one have been at less than 100 yards, the vast majority around 20 yards. I could have use my 4-3/8” Ruger SBH in .44 Mag for most of them. Or a 10-22, if the rules were not an issue.

That said, I do shoot out to 1000 yards, and that is a long poke for a .308. Been looking at the 7 prc as an everything rifle. Factory loads that will kill anything, anywhere I will ever hunt. I am headed west in a few years, to stay, so that wind drift reduction could be handy, both for hunting and target shooting. Yeah, a lot of its benefit over an ‘06 comes into play out past 500 yards. And under 500 yards, it will do anything an ‘06 will do as well, maybe better. So as a one gun solution for everything I do, or plan to, it looks pretty decent. Running bullets in similar weights to normal 30-06 bullets, at higher speeds and better bc’s is not a negative.

The 6.8 Western caught my eye for a second. Then I thought about Winchester’s abysmal support of their recent cartridges such as the 7WSM and others, and it lost me. Hate belted cartridges. This PRC has a lot of what I like, and very little I don’t. But I am simply looking at it as a versatile cartridge I can buy a good factory load for and spend my time out shooting it. The second coming of Jesus, it ain’t. It isn’t the devil, either, just another cartridge among many. Some have a use for it, others may not.

This was great! Love it! Huge .30-06 fan here!

I’ll agree.

Meh, it's actually fairly easy to beat that CX crap into a bloody squirming mess

I'm slinging the 187 gr Afterburner at 3500 fps, it's designed to open up down to 1650 fps with that aluminum tip and big asz hollow point under it, get 1683 fps at 1500 yards for 1200 ft lbs... Now that's a near/far bullet/cartridge combo

that 7 PRiC ain't got shyte over the 7mm Rem and 7mm Wby, and they've never been that great for long range hunting to begin with

That 187 in a 7-30 waters would be the cats ass…

nope, that's a 30 cal bullet

7PRC actually keeps up pretty well with the 7mm Wby, with the slight edge going to the 7mm Wby. The 7PRC actually way out performs the 7mm Rem Mag on paper. Also dont have to deal with that belted case crap as a reloader.

Ok in a 30-30 then. Be shooting to the moon.

The 7mm Rem Mag and 7mm Wby are the same fhuqking case. They are birds of a feather,when talking like barrel length/pressure. Hint.

Pass the 7mm RemMag,the .796 BC 180 ELD and hold The Fluff. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

New guns, calibers, bullets, etc-- it all boils down to genareting revenue

That's true of ALL of it....

.... but we're getting to the point that most new offerings are more or less redundant.

The Hurt Feeler Reports from The Do NOTHING Gang,are funnier than fhuqk. Perhaps consider holding your breath,for MAXIMUM "effect",as you Hissy your Fit(s)...you "lucky" kchunts. Hint. Congratulations?!?

The 284 Prick does what NOTHING ever has before and that is to combine a .796 BC at nearly 3000fps in Factory Fodder,with Factory Rifles expressly engineered to house same. Bullets matter wayyyyyy more than headstamps ladies,if only to your collective Brokedick Whining chagrin. Hint.

For you MOST Tender Of CLUELESS Kchunts,simply cite the chamberings and projectiles,which spare your VERY Tender Feelings. This will make Direct Hits even easier,on your Estrogen fueled Emotions. HINT.
