Funny az looking at Horny's load data for the 7 PRC, she's looking like abit of a dog looks like 180's doing 3000 with R26 is miles away, that's what they're claiming their factory stuff does

Would not bother getting too hung up on the ' My rifle must do 3,XXX fps or bust' club.

That's more of a pub/gun club boast than a measure of a rifle.

The 180 ELD-M has very good BC and if you run it between 2,800-2,900 fps your laughing.

The benefit of the PRC is being able to buy factory ammo with good bullets loaded already and barrel with the correct twist, that's it.

Same story with Creedmoor vs 260 Rem. Yes, Remington did the latter first, which still has more case capacity but came with a slow twist barrel and was not loaded from the factory with high-BC bullets.

My 7 Rem Mag is running a 180 ELDM with 64 grains RL26, have not chrono'ed it yet but recoil is relatively mild and accuracy is there, so don't feel the need it step on it any harder, as I want the ADG brass I sourced to last.

The next barrel it gets will be chambered in 7PRC.
