Thread: 7 prc Sammi

The first blue forum started up with many a yarn and much hilarity in 1995

The first model 7 and SF1 sendero in 7saum arrived in NZ in 2002

Since then Forums the world over have declared the 7saum is gaining in popularity

Truth is, it was never unpopular, it just gets “discovered” by each new hunter

The rem brass we coveted was average compared to what we have on offer these days

The difference is now its getting popular for target shooters.
It's very popular as an F class cartridge and getting popular as a mid range ELR cartridge in the states.

The 6.5 PRC is getting some ground in the ELR, PRS, NRL games in the US and it's not a huge stretch to see a SA 7mm magnum getting more popular in time.

There are far more hunters in the world than target shooters but the average hunter is lucky to shoot 100 rounds a year where as many competitive shooters will shoot that in a day.
Cartridges can hang around for years for hunters who can have 50 pieces of brass last them the life of their rifle but would never be practical for a competitive shooter.
