Thread: 7PRCW or 7/6.5PRC

My 7 prc is doing 2830 out of a 20” barrel with a 175 berger. 2890 with factory eld x 175. Anyone have any ideas why the 6.5 prc is so slow in short barrel? Would handloading change much? Not to hijack your thread mate

Maybe bores to small it looses speed worse than the bigger bores . Iv also seen it handloaded pretty bloody awsome to though it does seem theirs alot more slower prcs around than fast but on the bore thing the creed and .260 handles chops well. Must be a point though . Hopefully you get abit more speed when decent brass is available
