Thread: Is the new 7mm PRC a lemon ?

Right'o so the 6.5 & 7mm PRC whole big selling point is to get decent factory ammo performance without the hassle of reloading & while on paper, sounding & looking like the "Ducks nuts" have they turned out to be a complete frizzer especially with factory ammo ?

My 6.5 factory Norma ammo, while very accurate was nearly 200fps off the box speed and today l shot my new 7PRC with the factory Hornady 180's doing only 2840 outta hot barrel ( not 2975 ) as quoted, it is a 22" barrel but has got me thinking we might be getting a little hood winked by the marketing boys n girls again.

I know its early days but have spoken to a couple of guys with 7prc and they're not impressed either, interested to hear other members real life experiences


Seems as with many things in life, sticking with the tried n tested while boring can be the best, the 7 rem mag for example, at this stage without much effort reloading pisses all over the prc
