Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 7mm PRC = 280 +P?

What game? Cause if it's to big for a 7 mag, then I'm grabbing 30 or 338.

I might assume your talking about large game at further distance, if thats the case, and I'm shooting anything past 600, it'll have an appropriate scope and burn powder, like an ultra, stw, or nosler. The 7 LRM was supposed to be the greatest, til everyone realized grandpa's 7 rem was just as good. The 7 WSM, great cartridge, feeds like schit, and gives 7 rem mag velocity. Just get a 7 mag. Screw on a good pipe to a trued receiver, throat it for 180s and whoop some azz.

Cryote,

You are Pretending aloud,if only AGAIN...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Dangle a pic of "your" 7mm RemMag with a 180. HINT.

Then wax eloquent upon "your" 7 Whizzums that "fed like schit". Go ahead and dangle pics there too. Hint.

Dangle a pic of "your" "appropriate scope". Hint.

Fortunately for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even YOU can "afford" to "contribute",albeit with Delusional Fantasy. Hint.

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

Ha. Stick, I can't say I can blame you for asking for credentials. No pretending here my friend. You continue to make me laugh with your post. I'm out on this topic for now, but hey I know your a 7 mag guy with 180s.

Cryote,

You were NEVER "in" anything,other than in your Imagination and Pretend...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?



Bless your poor poor(literally) heart,for TRYING though.

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

You the man stick. You the man.😏
I don't post pics, don't need to.
Post us another ring lapping segment.....

Elk, mule deer, bear, moose, etc...

Moose and bear, like grizzlies, not black teddy bears maybe, but mulies and elk? Seriously? Now, mulies and elk past 600, OK, more horse, more bullet, other than that, nah, that 7 rem is perfect

Nothing wrong with the 7RM, but there is no relative downside to the 7PRC, IMO. More modern chamber and throat specs, fits in a standard-length action better with long bullets, factory 8" twist rates and quality ammo, etc. Brass availability is the only possible argument there, but that's a temporary issue.

My pleasure!

After handling a couple 5 lb rifles, I'm not as eager to get one as I once was. But, I still really want one and this might be the perfect 5 lb rifle recipe.

My (fuzzy photo) 7mm RM isn't going anywhere, it's been a faithful companion for going on 25 years, a Win 70 with a Shilen tube and a discounted Brown Precision stock from Brownells and a Zeiss Diavari. Still, when considering the choice of a 7mm RM or a 300WM, the 7 PRC is the ideal compromise, the best of both without the downsides of either. I was slow to adopt the PRC but it's really a great "tweak" of cartridge evolution, albeit a very slow evolution since 1892 and the 7x57 (think about what's happened in the last 125+ years, man on the moon, super computers in the palm of our hands and then cartridges (crickets...).

Shoot an animal with them both. You won't tell the difference. If you need a 300 win mag, then why compromise? Only one classification of dead. My deer gun, my elk gun, my this, my that. 7 mag will do it all so will a 300 and then some, but the notion of a cartridge to take the place of both is hilarious.

Not hilarious, reality! The 7 PRC is your huckleberry!

300 WM, 178 ELDX, 2960 FPS
7mm PRC, 175 ELDX, 3000 FPS (higher BC bullet, better long range ballistics)

That's pretty good but,

7 rem mag with a 175 and 62.0 RE-22 @ 2950
300WM with a 200 and 70.0 h4831 at 2910.

Those aren't even hot loads.

7 rem mag boys. The best of the 7s lol

The poor old 280 rem with a 175 can get 2750 no problem.
Watch me go buy a 7 prc😁

You're comparing apples to oranges, handloaders have the advantage with the PRC and RM but I'm more concerned with factory fodder for the masses (I handloaded, 32 dies sets and counting) but I don't now and may not ever again. Only interest in readily available and affordable factory fodder.

The 7 RM and 300 WM are great cartridges but their glory days are behind them, they will trail off in new rifle sales as there are simple better options available to rifle builders and buyers.

I can understand that. Each to their own.

How many rounds have you fired through a 7 PRC?

Zero. Cause I don't buy into hype. I KNOW a 7 RM is just as good. I roll my own and can't see the need for another cartridge that does the same thing.
