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

SuperKchunt,

Ain't it a fhuqking HILARIOUS constant,that the only thing you "bring" are Hurt Feelers and Stolen Pictures...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Fortunately for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even YOU can "afford" to "contribute". Pardon wares that exist,as you Whine aloud. Hint.

Now you can say you've "seen" a 180,though you couldn't pick it out of the crowd. This is a VERY Big Day,for someone like you. Hint.



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

OK...here go's from the peanut seats....

Last year I bought a TC CM thinking about using it to burn ap all the left over 6.5 left over bullets from the last melinium of 4 or 5 6.5 rifles that have all gone to other folks, while my right shoulder got enrolled into a healing schedule, due to bone spurs left over by VA Dallas in and around the right shoulder socket. I've still got a mixed lot of about a K of 6 or 7 brands and styles, but the double fist sized non malignant tumor behind my ear that prevented me from being able to raising my hand even to scratch my ear, has NOW been flushed down the toilet Praise God. Then the Shingles nitemare erupted....

Please Keep this conversation alive since the PRC looks like a major improvement over the standard Creed More rifle can produce as far as a game getter. Last friday I paid next years Range Fee ....and stumbled into a cherry deal on a Ruger 7RMg that sounds like it would fit well with my pair of 270's ..... AND the rough looking all composite TC Creed More that was bought specifically for use in and around the Movie Set left over from the 1950's movies set of "Creature from the Black Lagoon".. Find Tyler, Texas, Palestine Texas or Jacksonville, Texas to see what I'm talking about.

We are having a drought and both of the local newspapers have published pic's of the Civil War Era ocean going sized ships that have emerged from the bottom of the Sabine River to see what I'm talking about, just up river from Jacksonville.

Not sure I can make heads or tails of this

I think he said the Creedmoor sucks & they're about dry, I'm guessing outta 'shine ... or beer at the very least

I don't understand why anyone would get worked up over a new cartridge. Grumpy boomers I guess? Compare away, that's what makes it fun. Even if the 7 PRC is better.

OP..."What can this do that my 30-06 can't?"

Same thing could be said of the 270 Winchester in 1925.

People that make comments like that lead boring routine lives.

Well... thankfully I'm not a grumpy boomer, just a regular boomer! And I like performance, whether it's my 600hp Camaro, my nicely set up Tundra, my rifles, my pistols... whatever!

I picked up a 7mm PRC, to augment my 7mm Rem Mags, because I wanted to, absolutely no need involved.

This is just another opinion thread... and opinions are like a**holes....

I've never been impressed enough by 30/06 performance to buy one.

Compared to what and for what application?

While usually not particularly grumpy I'm as much of an 06 guy as you'll find. I've only ever shot big game with one of three .30-06's - my dad's BAR, a post '64 model 70 (that shoots lights out) and my faithful pump gun. I LOVE the .30-06. I will never NEED anything else. The one and only centerfire rifle I've ever purchased was my Remington .30-06 carbine pump gun (loonyism's symptoms don't always include "churning") and that was 20 years ago.

Just had a rifle built in 7PRC. I don't need the damn thing but I sure am having fun with it! It definitely does things my .30-06's won't which is not your point. Will the differences ever make any real world difference to a hunter like me? Almost certainly not. But, theoretically they could! And, one of the funnest things that the 7PRC is that the '06 just can't be is new. You should get one, RickyBobby!

You should take some long range classes. Stretch that 7PRCs legs out. Will really give you an appreciation for what it can do over a 30-06. I was shocked when I dropped my first elk at 688yards. My 30-06 cant do that.

You're probably right, RobHazmat. I would probably really enjoy learning to shoot at those distances. Opportunities for that in my neck of the woods are limited. I think, there's a 1,000 yard range 3 hours from me.

It was the same for me in Florida, not a whole lot of ranges past 100 yards here. I decided to take some long range classes when I was visiting home in Michigan. I got hooked and got more training. One of the coolest experiences so far as a hunter. Its nice when youre confident enough in your cartridge to be able to hit out to that distance, and also confident enough that itll actually drop what youre shooting at. At this point i dont really have a need for my 30-06, other than nostalgia. But my 7PRC is probably going to stay as my "do-it-all" rifle from here on out.
