300 PRC AND 7 PRC AT 1080 YARDS

[@Accuracy1st]

I have four 7PRCs - love them. I considered a 300PRC but chose to get a modified reamer made by JGS in 300WSM. I followed the Alex Wheeler concept and how he improved the PRCs with a larger body by 0.002 and a bit more freebore. My 300WSMs will need long actions but that's what I wanted. the 300WSM is well known for its accuracy. I've got 180, 190, 210 grain bullets with the heavier bullets being Berger VLDs.

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Ive seen his interview on Cortinas channel he has some good knowledge.

[@Accuracy1st]

@@Syxtus_outdoors Yes, he's done a great job of improving chambers - something SAAMI should look at and standardize the AW modification.

My 300 wsm is a laser 168gr tsx averaging 3090 fps

[@Seleneerr]

7mm prc isn't no joke i can shoot 1.5 inch groups at 300 yrds with a factory rifle most accurate cartridge i have ever shot and they are not picky they will shoot almost anything

[@dbeardsley0]

Same experience with my HMR and ridge wilderness rifles in 300prc. One for long range shooting, one for hunting

[@reloadingfun]

you got a good barrel, that's all it is. consider yourself lucky.

[@GM0095]

I love your video Can you please tell me: 1)Your barrel length? 2)What powder you use and what is the weight of the powder for Berger Hybrid 184 grains?

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Its a 28" barrel with 66.5gr of h1000 Thanks 👍

[@AllisChalmersMN]

I picked up a 7 PRC a couple months ago. I’ve only shot it a few times but it’s a sweet cartridge. I’m wondering if I should have gone with the 300 PRC but I’m not sure. I also have a 338 Lapua that I shoot long distance.

[@eduardogonzalez6331]

If you did end up getting the 300 prc. I have a 7 prc and want the 300 and 338lm which one of those two would you recommend for carnage

[@derricksmoothy4392]

Get both

[@Reverend1776]

You should reach out to Texas Plinker with that second grouping! His 1 MOA at 1000 would be attainable with that grouping!

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Quite possibly but im in Canada so too far away 👍

[@jerryhall1541]

Very nice...about to build out a 7mm PRC bench/hunting rig myself...trying to decide what action but loving Bartlein for barrels.

[@BuffaloTrace602]

Impact Precision actions = 👌🏻

[@Tofazfou]

Tikka T3X action. They do sell just the actions

[@daviddemand6856]

Looks as though you’ve found a great cartridge recipe for the 7PRC. My 7PRC is sub MOA with all shelf ammo I’ve put through it. I had GA Precision put a Bartlein 5R carbon wrapped in 22” with 1:8 twist. I’ve just begun testing with hand loaded Berger’s and some H4831SC. I’m hoping to speed it up a bit closer to 2990-3010 from 2840.

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Absolutely, this load works really well in this barrel and what a great cartridge 7prc is! I like it so much I'm having another rifle built in it as we speak. Good luck on your load testing.

[@brauliodiniz7753]

Wow. 7mm prc is so darn perfect

[@christojordaan5018]

I just won my first 7 prc at a sportsman expo here in Utah. Can’t wait to buy a scope for it, any suggestions for scopes

[@sportsmanslegacy]

What are you wanting to spend? The Leopold MK5 HD and Nightforce NX8 line of scopes are great!

[@Teolulz]

the best you can afford

[@derricksmoothy4392]

Arken Scopes.... check reviews. I own every scope Arken makes minus the EP5 7-35X56 but I have the EP5 5-25x56. My SIG SAUER EASY6-BDX trumps the 7-35x56 6-35x56

[@javiersp01]

300prc 1.33 moa group and 0.7 moa for the 7 prc. Nice shooting man !!

[@lonestarlegacyoutdoors1828]

I see accuracy and recoil are better for the 7mm prc, and i love my 7prc for hunting, but i am looking to get more into long range, shooting past 1200 and up to a mile. Would u still prefer the 7 prc at that distance or the 300 prc? i know what the data shows, but i am just wondering from a shooter who has shot both calibers.

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

I would prefer 300 prc at longer distances over 1500 yards due to bullets having higher bc's and more mass making it easier to spot hits and misses, but 7prc is still an awesome cartridge!

[@lonestarlegacyoutdoors1828]

@Syxtus_outdoors Thanks for the feedback.

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

@lonestarlegacyoutdoors1828 anytime!👍

[@lucky-cq5bb]

That 7prc is a laser! Nice shooting! If you dont mind, what's the build list on that 7prc? Im building one snd thats the setup im leaning towards.

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

@lucky-cq5bb it's an awesome cartridge and super accurate, the rifle is in mdt acc premiere chassis with mdt elite scope rings, bartlein barrel 1-8.5 twist , KS Arms action and apw muzzle brake. Good luck.

[@lucky-cq5bb]

Thanks buddy 🤙🏼

[@camonly849]

Man berger bullets are just good. They seem to be quite a bit more accurate than the hornady or smks etc. Are you able to load up any bergers in the 300 prc and shoot a group?

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Ill be switching to bergers very soon so ill give it a shot.

I have not had any luck with the 230gr stops across 4 rifles. I would have loved to see 190gr berger in the 300prc close to what you used in the 7mm. I can't even get the 225 eldm to shoot but they are better in my trials. 200gr hammers

[@andrewpurcell6153]

You should try a 300 WSM with the 230 Atip. I ran H1000 with a full case with an SD-3fps and 2748fps….routinely shot (in no wind) 10 inch groups or better at 1000. Most of the time we just shot clay pigeons with it at that distance.

[@brockedandloaded6034]

How is recoil? I kinda had my heart set on a 7prc to use in a carbon fiber stock for hinting, suppressed, and switch into a chassis for the off-season for long range. I currently shoot a 6.5 creedmoor bolt and 308 gas gun. People have said the 300 prc is more but a softer recoil impulse than the harsher 7prc. Like 45 to 40 or so. What do you think side by side

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

300prc has definitely way more recoil, i would compare 7prc to shooting a 308 without any muzzle device its very manageable and quite honest its very pleasant unlike the 300. I also shoot both 308 and 6.5cm but they just dont have enough at longer ranges, 66-78gr of powder is obvious compared to 40gr.

[@brockedandloaded6034]

@@Syxtus_outdoors thanks for the info.

[@seetownwv]

My 300 prc I can not notice anymore recoil than my older 300 win mag. It did have pretty good muzzle rise. I put a suppressor on it an it's a baby to shoot. Maybe like a 243 or less now. I shot my 7 prc 6.5lb gun with nothing on it an was harsher than I thought it'd me. It was just bare gun to chrono before shortening the barrel. If your shooting suppressed their both gonna be good guns.

How is the shrapnel making other marks on the plate? because it hits the plate then has to bounce backwards, how does it have any forward momentum? or is it because the plate moves?

[@shanerorko8076]

After watching further it appears that it's just the shockwave blasting paint off, I would use primer, but thats a different discussion.

[@MichealJACKSON-ly6cd]

I have the vortex SE on an rpr 6.5 with a proof barrel, the scope is super viable at 1k. Really like ebr7c reticle. I'm starting a christchensen 300prc build. Do you have any feedback good or bad regarding that action.

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Their actions are decent, they have some slack but overall not bad id say. CA barrels are totally different story, the one that came with my MPR fell apart after only 250rds!

[@chadperry4021]

Which one are you more confident with?

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Definitely 7prc

[@josephmandragoran4262]

You can see with the 7prc that as the barrel warms up the velocity is increasing. That's why he got the vertical stringing.

Hi, you are getting velocity of 2950 fp/s with 28" barrel, 184 grains bullet and 66.5 grains of H1000 powder. Can you please tell me: 1) what is the pressure in psi that you are getting? 2)do you think that in 7mm PRC with 26" barrel, Berger 180 grains, 67.5 grains of H1000 powder I would get velocity of 3000 fp/s and would the pressure be to high and what would be the amount? Best regards!

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Yep that's my load there, not sure about the exact pressure numbers but looking at some data with similar powder charges it would be around 66k psi. You should be very close to 3k ft/s with 67.5gr.

[@jasonrad9332]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@reloadingfun]

It's not the caliber that's making the difference. It's the barrel, the ammo, or the shooter. there is lots of examples of 30 calibers shooting as good as your 7prc. I think you need to come up with a more accurate understanding of what is going on.

@@camonly849 custom as in bullet individuals make (Vapor Trail, Roy Hunter). I hear they are better than Bergers. not sure at 1000+ yards though.

[@camonly849]

@Teolulz oh idk. I know bergers are known to be very well made and very consistent in design. I can't imagine custom made bullets achieving that much more accuracy. It's probably hard to tell as there are many other factors such as twist, barrel harmonics, stock/chassis, shooter error etc to take into account. Plus, to make consistent hits at 1000 yds isn't to hard. Honestly, a 1 moa rifle can do it. I don't really think there's a benefit unless it saves you tons of money.

[@Hugger4641]

Useless comparison. 2 different bullet designs, totally 52 gr difference in weight, 2 different velocities, 2 different rifles. Kudos to you for good shooting, that's about the best I can say about wasting my time on this video.

[@masone4589]

The weight and velocity differences are understandable. They are different calibers and cases. But the bullet difference is what throws off the results. If he had used a 180 ELDM and a 225 ELDM, we’d be looking at a more apples to apples comparison
