Thread: Is the new 7mm PRC a lemon ?

I think recoil will handicap the 7PRC when it is finally widely availible here in factory rifles

A 175-180 grain supersonic projectile is quite the handful in a suppressed lightweight hunting rifle, extremely difficult/impossible to spot your shot

A decent brake will fix that problem but we are a suppressor country, not a brake country

Handloading with lighter projectiles will also help, but factory ammo is predominately 175-180 which is the whole point of the 7PRC with its fast twist for the high BC projectiles

When the 300Rum was introduced many moons ago, there were very few brakes & even less suppressors availible here, they sold well but some showed up as new back in the shops a short time later

The factory 180 grain projectiles at 3200fps were quite unpleasant to shoot even in a Remington Sendero which was certainly no lightweight rifle, let alone an LSS which is still heavy by todays standards
