    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    @barryboyd7973 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

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.

    The ballistics comparison isn't really meaningful if their muzzle velocities aren't equal, and no BCs are shown🤷‍♀the cartridge literally gives the bullet only a velocity, nothing else. And the wind drift and drop will depend on the velocity and the BC. The 7 prc looks great, but saying that the it is superior to 2 other cartridges based on ballistics where it starts at a higher velocity just doesn't make sense. Based on this logic, you can neck down some larger cartridge, like the 300 prc, to 7mm, and put the same projectile in it as is used for the 7prc in the video, then it will have "superior" ballistics to the 7prc

      Maybe in 5+ years once the commoners can find ammo and factory rifles on the shelf with any sort of regularity. 6.5 PRC is a challenge, 300 PRC is a unicorn.

    • @jimhans1
      @jimhans1 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Considering 90+% of the “long” action rifles made today will already accept the 3.600” length of the 300PRC, it was a waste for Hornady to use the shorter case to fit into a Winchester based 3.300” length.

    • @ca2129
      @ca2129 ปีที่แล้ว

      Could be some truth to that but, considering that we are now in a whole new century, with more new gun owners entering the sport buying there first real “magnum action” rifle, or hanging up the hammy down rifle to preserve as an heirloom/ collectible, Hornady may have timed this right. Think of all those first time gun buyers the last couple years, Millions, many will probably go for having a whole set of firearms to play in all the different shooting sports. so once you get bored with your soft 556, and find places to shoot further, and realize how much your likely to shoot your “Magnum” each year with all your other plinkers. Than an expensive barrel burning new cartridge that has the best all around performance for “magnum” rifle stuff will Hopefully stick around til the year 3022.

    The shape of cartridges will give another boost in efficiency. The gases need to compress within and exit the cartridge with consideration of the compression waves. Abrupt angle changes always cause reflections and standing waves, even with electricity and EM waves.

  • @TexanUSMC8089
    @TexanUSMC8089 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    It's exciting to see the performance of 7 PRC but is it worth the wait as ammo supplies have to ramp up? There are few companies, such as Mossberg, already building 7 mm PRC but not so readily available. As opposed to 7 mm Rem Mag, which is more available and I seen someone take an elk at 1,378 yards with a 7 mm RM.

    The various bergara HMR series rifles are a great deal for such high performance.

    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!
