Thread: Is the new 7mm PRC a lemon ?

Have to agree with you.
i even wrote to hornady and told them of the overpressure , and stiff bolt lifts . Their response was " oh really " ..... then i noticed other forums with people saying the same as well .
in respect of velocity , with the factory loads ( 175 eld-x) i got everything from 2835 to 2950 , but never 3000 . i shoot 24 inch battery , and the factory tests with a 26 inch .

I now shoot 68gr of 2217 for a very consistant 2940 ft/sec . ADG brass , COL 3.300, and a 0.239 MOA . If you have Gordons Reloading tool , I,ll share the file .
Bottom line .... you gotta load your own to get great performance . Is that new though ?
cheers
