Do you have your numbers wrong way around? I thought it's a 6.5PRC necked up to 7mm....not a 7PRC necked down.

I do have a 6.5-7PRC, 156's beyond 3100fps in a 22" barrel

This thread is about the 7-6.5 PRC

I believe it is the replacement for the 7SAUM, unless more brass manufactures pick it up

The 6.5 PRC is here to stay, along with plenty of good brass being readily availible

My one goes well as well and it's killing deer from 10 m to well over 400m. Need to get it over crono

Been looking at a saum but if this will sling 175-180 at similar speeds I'd look at 1

I need to get my brass fireform and start load development with 175gr bergers in my 7-6.5PRC aka 284prc

aka 7 PRCW. This is the more common name in F Open circles. W is for Alex Wheeler who was prominent in getting it running. I have just got my new F Open rig assembled and starting on load devl't. It'd dead easy to run 2950 with 180s in our 30/32" bbls but it seems 2820-2850 is where it's at for accuracy. 53grs of 2209 is a common accuracy load.

Off the grass Adg makes 7 saum 180s at 2950 here to stay

Very tidy though those 168s are tricky buggers well done

Yes but ADG can cause problems in some chambers

Is only available ex USA from boutique suppliers & when ADG chose to run it, its not all back ordered

In 5 years time will you be able to source it ?

Heaps of companies make PRC brass and ammo & will continue to do so

ADG even make 7-6.5 PRC brass

Saum for the win

Lapua are showing interest in making saum brass

I’m having a very good run with my Adg brass so touch wood it stays that way my reamer was designed around it though and iv got a few barrels worth tucked away will see my hunting days out anyway

Either way - a short action 7mm that can sling pills at those velocities is the the sweet spot for a light, short and deadly rifle for any game that it is pointed at is a win.

Lets talk about the accuracy!!that speed is phenom but that group you shot is Fkn deadly!was it consistently doing that?
