Thread: 20" Tikka 7 PRC

This is great to see.
I have a Springfield waypoint 2020 20” carbon in 7PRC on its way and cant wait to start shooting.

I have a small stack on 175gr ELD-X that I’m going to use pretty much just to get the brass from. Then i have some 180gr ELD-M that I’m hoping to load with my H4831sc and see how we get on. Still need to get the dies and the magnum primers (should be easy enough……..ha)

Has anyone been playing around with loads on the the 7PRC yet?

That is the question no one can answer, June/July was the original date, update on Friday was September....but as there's still none in production I'm guessing next year...

@199p do it wait time on stocks is killer though but a good way to shave some weight and keep things super slick

Few people playing mate mainly 2217 2225 and reloader 26 from the reading iv done on here so be sure to publish your findings in the reloading section

I'm going through the process of loading for my 20" PRC although I'm finding the Hornady brass seems to be a bit erratic with some cases hitting pressure and some not.
I've been using 2217 but are about try RL 26 which I'm sure will be a winner.

Your brass lasting with that? 2.4gn over book max is a fair bit with the 7prc. Maybe using lrp instead of magnum lrp changes the peak pressure.

I went up 67gn, no pressure signs… it felt like a really mild charge compared to what I was getting with factory ammo… I am at the 4th firing on some of the brass, primer pocket getting loose but are still ok. Again nothing as bad as some of the factory ammo.

I think you are correct about large vs magnum large. A mate using H1000 with large instead magnum is also couple of gn past max charge
