Thread: 7PRC load data

Years ago I used a load of 68gr of 4831sc powder lighted up by a federal large primer behind a 178gr amax in my 300win mag long range gun. Exceptionally accurate. But the only issue , was during very cold weather temperatures, I would have delayed ignition. It was like shooting an old flintlock gun.
Just be aware….

Shit bro. (Kelton) Your SD and ES on that load is rediculous. Well done .
Is that with r26 or 2225

Reloader 26 wre primers I actually only done a ladder with 2225 out of curiosity it was a very accurate ladder given the press in powder charges

I’ve just finished load development with 175 bergers ,RL26 & ADG brass 67.4gr got me 1/4 inch groups at 200. 3028fps with sd 1.3 es 3. Just finished dope out to 1267.

What’s ya barrel length?

I’m watching this thread with interest as I looked at rebarreling a rifle last year to a 7mm PRC but the cost is getting up there these days so I figured I’d just wait until Tikka start making them as their generally two years late to the party but I guess there’s a process with implementing US pressures to European pressures.

Anyway, I figured I’d wait until they start churning them out as I’m in no rush.

It seems that people are either running 175 or 180 gr projectiles but has anyone toyed with running any of the 162 gr projectiles or even going as low as 150 gr?

Gun city has a tikka with a 26” fierce carbon barrel. Plus a heap of fierce rifles. I see Bertram now has 7prc brass as well.

I tired 162 Eldx out of interest to see what they would do had great accuracy and speed (for memory around 3150ish with 2217) but never did anything with it. Shoots the heavier bullets great so stuck with them.
