Great vid Gavin. 7 PRC is awesome. Mild enough for short barrels, enough powder capacity to hit that magical 3,000fps with heavy bullets, it has all the ballistic advantages of the 284 caliber, and it’s a modern case built for reloading today’s bullets. We’re gonna be talking about this one for decades to come.

Yea like why didn't it catch on? I know about the PRC lineup. The WSMs, SAUMs, RUMs, Noslers, RCMs, Rugers...They all live short lives, fade away and the older cartridges stay on their thrones. The worst thing is the promoters of these cartridge lines just stop producing guns and ammo for them. I have a few. Try to find ammo. I have or had the 8mm Remmag, 7mm RUM, 375 and 416 Rugers. Since covid the ammo for the 375 has gone up $30 and the 416 up about the same. 416 Ruger ammo is hard to find. Remington does not list factory ammo for the RUMs or SAUMs except for the 300 RUM. So go get the new gimick cartridges but you better handload.

Run the numbers at elk altitude for Mountain West region in the US, and the downrange ballistics change considerably. It’s one of the most overlooked realities when getting an idea about performance. We don’t see elk below 7000ft that often. They sometimes come down to the edges of farmland to eat, but typically stay in the 8,000-9,500ft elevations in Wasatch and Rockies at least. Density Altitude is super thin up in those elevations, great for LR ballistics, so the 6.5 PRC will still have a lot more speed and energy than down in the thick air at sea level. 7mm PRC and 300 PRC get even better as well.

7 mm PRC looks like a great round. Basically an updated 7mm Rem Mag capable of shooting the heavier, high BC bullets slightly faster. The rifle chambers are supposed to have tighter tolerances as well. The barrel twist rates are 1 in 8" versus 1 in 9.5" used on most 7 mm Rem Mag rifles. I really hope the 7mm PRC takes off and becomes popular for years to come. The 7mm Rem Mag is proven and lasted the test of time. Not jumping on the 7mm PRC until I see how well it passes the test of time.

I chose the 6.5 PRC in a Ruger American, which is fitted in a long action. I really like that for reloading. I see so many people going on about how we don't need new cartridges and how the .270 is just like a 6.5 PRC and so on. I don't know about everyone else, but I like buying new rifles, and having them all chambered in the same thing is ridiculous, in my opinion. I love a .270, but I like new guns, and with a new gun, I want a new cartridge. The 6.5 PRC is just a really sweet round for whitetail deer.

I already have several factory rifles, custom rifles or at least barreled actions in some of the more popular 6.5mm's and 7mm's SAAMI and Wildcats. When I heard about this cartridge I got really excited and knew at minimum I was going to get a really nice barreled action built to drop into one of my chassis but now I'm going to get a hunting rifle built or I'll buy a factory one as well. I think this cartridge is going to be a huge hit in the long range competition world along with the hunting because it checks so many boxes.

Don't know where this dude is getting his numbers, but just check backfire's site for what I would consider a more accurate/objective comparison. Less drop from the 6.5 over range. It's just physics. A new cartridge isn't just a boon to rifle and ammunition manufacturers. Those whose business is based on views related to covering said ammunition and rifles are equally benefited by it. Not saying I won't pay attention and be interested, but everyone should do their own independent research to make their own objective assessment.

The 7MM PRC is the modern version of a 7MM REM. I expect it will be a big hit. For North American game, it might just be the ultimate cartridge. Every cartridge is a trade off between recoil and down range performance. The 7MM hits a sweet spot and this cartridge looks like it will outperform all other 7MM’s by being the closest to the optimum trade-off. It might take a while for rifle and ammunition manufacturers to fill the void, but when they do, this is going to be a very popular caliber. If you have a 7MM REM already, no need to sell it or anything. But, this would be a something to consider for a future purchase or build. Berger really changed everything with its longer high BC bullets. This 7MM PRC is just one more example of a new cartridge built to take full advantage of long, high BC bullets.

I love what I see on the ballistics of the 7 PRC but I wish that it didn't require the long action, that's what makes the 6.5 PRC so appealing to most initially. But the idea of not needing a .30cal boom stick for Elk and other big game with the 7 PRC is appealing. I am curious how the felt recoil compares amongst the three and alongside of their peers. I think my next custom just might be a 7 PRC so long as there are great factory ammo options to choose from.

Great video. The 6.5 PRC has about the same case capacity as a 270 Winchester. If you shoot a factory rifle with factory ammo, the 6.5 PRC will beat the 270 at any distance. The same goes for the 7 PRC and the 7 Rem Mag. Very similar capacity and bullets, but the 7 PRC will beat the 7 Rem Mag at any range. It carries on for the 300 PRC and 300 Win Mag. I'm a big fan of the 7 Rem Mag. If I didn't have a large 7mm, I would be looking for a 7 PRC. I have three 6.5 PRC rifles. Two of them are built on short-action Savage actions because the mag is longer than most other factory rifles. It required no mods. I just screwed on the new barrel and set the headspace. I used McGowan barrels and they shoot outstanding.

Gavin great video! I hunt and shoot PRS with a 7 SAUM, I hunt with 160g bullets and compete with 183g bullet. Both hammer and run great in a short action. I’d love to see a comparison of the 7PRC, 7WSM, 7SAUM, 280AI and 6.8 Western, I think these calibers for hand loading hunters would be a really interesting study.

Since I bought a CVA Cascade in 6.5PRC before the 7mm rumors reached me, and CVA already uses a long action for their 6.5, I'm thinking I can re-barrel to the 7PRC when the time comes. New barrel and new mags should be all I need. For many years I've heard that 7mm is the ideal diameter for shooting the flattest trajectory, and this comparison provides some evidence!

Hornady is doing the 300prc a disservice by not offering a 250 grain version in factory ammo.

What does Hornady have to say about the projected barrel life for the 7 PRC?
@BoostedMK6 Жыл бұрын
I like the 6.5 PRC, personally. Good for big game and deer. Now, if all you hunt is big game I’m a even bigger fan of the 300 PRC.

I am torn. I am a 7mm guy, but I also like short-actions. While recoil hasn't ever been a big concern to me I am starting to mind it more in the last couple year's. I also do not care for humping heavy rifles up the mountains anymore. I will probably go with the 7 PRC unless I decide to go with the 6.5.

I have picked all my rifles based on what I want for Africa hunting 416 Rem Mag 30.06 sn .243 now I want something different flat shooting and just something special. I want a 7mm PRC if I just can get it in a Sako TRG I enjoy your videos. Thanks

Is it feasible to re-barrel a 300 PRC long action to a 6.5 PRC, changing nothing but the barrel? The only potential issues I can see is feeding issues due to long action/long magazine, and maybe the feed angle being different? All other important dimensions of the cartridges are the same due to the same parent case. Anything I have not anticipated/have you tried this? I would appreciate your opinion.

I recently watched a video where a Hornady rep blamed powder component shortages for the slower velocities. They claim they have had to find alternate powders . 🤷♂️

And here I'm sitting having just bought a 300 PRC kicking myself that I didn't wait for the 7mm PRC, in summary the 7mm PRC outperforms on velocity, wind drift and bullet drop, only ever so slightly advantage the 300 PRC have is marginally more energy downrange. I intend to use it for long rang steel shooting, so no use of that anyway, should have waited for the 7mmPRC. Would be nice to see some tables using the heavier A-tips. Great content

They're both long actions that use the same bolt face so you can simply swap out your 300prc barrel for a 7prc barrel and you're good to go.

I recently picked up a Fierce Rifle in 300 PRC. Amazingly soft shooting cartridge with almost 1500 ft lbs of energy at 1000 yards. It’s the king in my book.

Ha, in what universe is a 300PRC an "amazingly soft shooting cartridge" A 300 Winmag is considered a stout shooting cartridge and the PRC has 13% more recoil velocity. 😂

@@hardcoreish no I’m very serious…. The factory muzzle brake on it is amazing! I was planning on getting a custom brake made like I did on my WinMag but not needed at all. I’m very serious when I say my 300 PRC feels like my .223 bolt action recoil. Dead Serious. I have a .300 WSM WITHOUT a brake at hate shooting it… kicks like a mule compared to my 300 PRC. Check MuzzleBrakeand More on KZfaq to see what great brake can actually accomplish. I put one of his brakes on my .300 WIN MAG and it feels same at my .233 bolt action now. No pain, no bruising, no kick really. I shot 40 rounds out of both in an hour recently getting ready for a hunt in Africa and zero pain. I’d shoot 100 rounds in the win Mag or the PRC and not complain at all. Quality brakes are amazing. Shitty brakes suck. Check out his KZfaq on the .300 PRC on his recoil sled.

@@hardcoreish and I forgot to mention. That my Fierce .300 PRC is titanium action so it’s very light… around 7 pounds with scope…. And serious …. No kick at all… and that’s with factory brake. But I may still get a custom brake for it from MuzzleBrakesandMore just for even quicker follow up shots if necessary

@RockinRack Ай бұрын
Yeah breaks can make a huge difference. Add some weight to that and you can really delete a lot of recoil. My mrad in 300prc is no joke softer shooting than my light weight 308

How does barrel life compare between the three
@csjrogerson2377 Жыл бұрын
Great video, but to be honest the relative merits between is pretty obvious just by looking at the cartridges. Recoil numbers would have been good to include, although one would say the 7PRC should be very similar to the 7RM (almost the same cartridge). My question is that, the benefits of longer heavier, higher BC bullets, plus the necessary higher case capacity and higher twist rates and associated higher recoil, have been known for at least 100 years. Why didnt we have these cartridges a long time ago?
