    7mm PRC non Hornady factory anmo?

    Anyone heard if any other ammo manufacturers are going to start making 7PRC soon?

    I've read the is 7mm PRC a lemon thread, seems the factory Hornady stuff has something to be desired

    Unsure. I handload for my 7 prc. But tried factory eld x for interest sake. Easily sun Moa and 2850-2900 from a 20” barrel. Have you tried it for yourself?

    Do we know when any factory rifles will be available here in NZ in 7prc? Pretty keen on this being my next calibre choice.

    Not so keen on a Savage, i would prob get one in an xbolt tho. Be great if Tikka would do one would jump on that. In no hurry so will hold off see what happens.

    I ordered and received a Proof Research Elevation MTR. However, a good customer wanted it, so I let him have first dibs. Stunning rifle.
    We have ordered 175 ELDX Federal Premium Ammo

    What barrel did you run with? I have heard of a few running quite slow

    That’s like an orgasm. I couldn’t spend what that’s worth on a hunting rifle though.. I’m too hard and rough on my gear
