7prc or 300 prc

[Maggot]

I know the recoil of the 300 is supposed to be more but less perceived. Got it.

I had a 7 PRC and with factory 180 ELD got it to a mile ok. Like a dumb ass I sold that rifle. Now I'm looking to get back PAST a mile. Recoil aside, I know the 300 is heavier but the 7 has slightly better ballistics. Will the heavier bullet/more powder keep the 300 stable further than the 7's slightly higher velocity at the mile? I dont have an absolute distance goal in mind, just wondering.

Any advice appreciated.

The ballistics will depend what bullet you run in each.
Neither will be more stable at any distance but the splash from the 30 cal will be easier to see at distance.

I understood that but the 7 generally, apples to apples, stays supersonic longer. Again, all else being as equal as possible will they perform similar at 2500 or will they both tail off due to falling velocity. I'm not looking for an exact, absolute, answer, just a general comparison.
