So new to this site but already love it. Before I buy a rifle in 7mm prc. What's everyone's thoughts on it over a 7 rem mag
ADG makes good 7mm PRC brass.The downside is that currently only Peterson is making high quality 7prc brass. Hornady is available, but.....it's hornady. And it's not just necking down 300prc......so you can't take Lapua and make a quick change to get 7prc brass.
My 9" twist 7mm's are shooting the Berger 175 Elites with no issues. Haven't tried any 9.25 and 9.5 twists yet. Those are hammers with the 168 VLD's. But I do shoot Berger 180 Hybrids in my 9.25" twist Sendero SF chambered in 7mm STW, and it stacks them into 1/4-1/3 MOA groups...If I had an 8 or 8.5 twisted 7mm Rem Mag setup to shoot 180 scenars, I'd be set for .284 caliber. If not, I'd buy 7mm PRC and hope the Hornady factory stuff would run well.
Yes, LRHThat is a beautiful rifle. Manners stock?
Let me try. I might be a fudd and certainly an idiot. However, my rifles have been 308 in different configurations. And a 5.56 semi-auto, and a shottie.Thanks for the info. Was hoping someone would talk me in to buying a new rifle lol. But I suppose I'll just upgrade the glass on my 7 rem mag
Not sure where you’re at but I just ordered 100 pieces of brass from unknown munitions and he had plenty available. I’ve also seen plenty of 7PRC factory rounds on the shelves.Would be a real nice present to get myself.. Seems like only real issue is brass availability and even factory ammo
We won’t tell, promise…Probably going to have to wait until after the holidays if I decide to buy a new rifle. Spent way to much in the last wee alone
Famous last words.Probably going to have to wait until after the holidays if I decide to buy a new rifle. Spent way to much in the last wee alone
Exactly. I was happy in my own little world of .308 W. Then, I just had to have a 5.56. Then a 12 ga smooth bore that came with a bayonette (extra cool factor.)Maybe I will buy a new 7mmprc rifle. Guess it never hurts to have another new rifle /caliber![]()
Nice rifle. I don’t have a picture of mine with the suppressor and since that picture I swapped the pic rail to the full length one from a normal Kratos to get the eye relief perfect.View attachment 8288006
We have very similar rifles.
Yeah that’s not a bad idea. I almost need that.Nice rifle. I don’t have a picture of mine with the suppressor and since that picture I swapped the pic rail to the full length one from a normal Kratos to get the eye relief perfect.
I will stick my neck out. I like the 24 inch, so far. Then, again, I hunt, so I would not really want one that is longer.Probably a dumb question but what's everyone's favorite barrel length for the 7mm prc
If you're already setup for 7mm dies and such and you have a barrel with proper twist rate as well as chamber that allows for the bullets you want to use, then you won't gain anything.
However, if you would need to get dies or change your barrel for the 7mm to work with the latest/greatest bullets, then a switch to 7prc might make sense.
The downside is that currently only Peterson is making high quality 7prc brass. Hornady is available, but.....it's hornady. And it's not just necking down 300prc......so you can't take Lapua and make a quick change to get 7prc brass.
We build a lot of 7prc (chambering 5 this week alone). But personally, almost always pick up the 6.5prc or the 300prc when its time to shoot.
I don't have a shusher machine but I do have a timed brake and I do wear hearing protection. The brake is a Silencerco ASR. So, it does not deflect back, it deflects to the side.18 & 22 both suppressed. If I wasn’t using suppresdor 22 or 24 would be my choice
Everyone sniveled about the lack of match quality 6.5 Creedmoor brass 10 years ago, now good brass is everywhere ( When it's in stock )
You won't need Small Primer Pocket brass so that will make the choice even easier.
