Thread: 7 prc Sammi

Just about a long action cartridge probably suit xm little longer than a 300wsm case

Well that’s a bummer, I guess the SAUM still wins!

Agreed.
I'd heard this was coming out and was hoping it'd be proper SA cartridge, basically a 7SAUM but with factory ammo and readily available brass.

Yip and when exceeding 3” theirs better options in my opinion

180's doing almost 3k in factory ammo will be mint, hopefully they have a big stockpile of ammo before its released even if its still a couple of years away from our shores

Honestly hate this as was hoping for a short action. Read awhile ago this was intended for a long action. Biggest issue is the 180s are going to be even harder to find if they come out.

So you were hoping for a SAUM? Yea iv being hunting for 180s for a long time moving my attention to 195s now . Like a slightly shortened LRM with a shorter neck

Pretty much more brass availability factory clambering with decent twists etc. If like the 6.5prc many extended mag short actions etc. I have some 195s that I would trade if you do sort out 180s. I also would have liked a 7mm Creed as well to suit the 162s

Few 7 creed wildcats about they seem to do well . Iv stopped looking for the 180s and will just look for 195s now . The 6.5 prc had it not being for the factory factor is a waste of time except it’s not because of the factory factor and fast twist factory rifles. It’s all in the marketing. The prc actually manages to paint the wheel and call it new with all the marketing hype and obviously us the consumer giving it the sales . They were clever with their Sammi specs . the 7 will be the same some where in the 8 twists heaps of hype heaps of factory rifles

Plenty saum brass but the factory factor is beyond pour but that leaves room for really light weight slap together bitsa rifles with the appropriate sized actions

I've got a 7mm Creed that throws the 160tmk @2880fps with 41.3gr 2208.....
Works mint for me, longest kills being 2 goats at 725meters

I was hoping they would do it off the 300 prc but this sounds pretty cool. I reckon that by the time these reach nz in 5 or 6 years I'll be ready for one

7-375R 7 blaser mag 7 LRM fast twist 7RM all fit that bill mate none factory iv corse

Advantage over the saum would be more brass variety available?
