7 PRC Vs 7 WSM

7 PRC vs 7 WSM today I but put these two head to head to see if the 7 WSM Remington 700 can keep up with the Pure Precision 7 PRC. Running a 26 in barrel on the 7 WSM and a 22 on the PRC. Will the old dog be able to keep up! If you would like and subscribe and help me on this adventure I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you'd like to help beyond that I just started a patreon! Thank you all!

I’d like to see how the WSM does with a shorter barrel. Not because I’m rooting for it to be better than the PRC all things being equal but because I’m not a fan of longer barrels. 22” is about the longest barreled rifle I’m interested in owning and make my cartridge selection accordingly.

[@GuyGooding-q9o]

@@Westerner_ sbr's are as a tactical weapon used with a suppressor make a lot of sense. To us old fuds any barrel shorter than 20inch is a carbine now referred to as a sbr . For hunting purposes I keep my barrels 22-26 inches depending on cartridge. If you don't mind turning your 308win into a 30-30 go ahead & shorten the barrel to any length you want , you're the one paying for it. Magnum cartridges need longer barrels to get the performance or what's the point ! Muzzle blast with a short barreled Magnum with a Muzzle break is just crazy disturbing on the range or for hunting. Interesting times & lots of options .

[@Westerner_]

@@GuyGooding-q9o I completely disagree. Ruger makes several factory rifles with 20” barrels that are designed for hunting, most people building custom rifles now days are going with a 22” or shorter barrel. You lose a little velocity in trade for a much more packable easier handling package. 300 WSM 6.5 PRC and 7 SAUM all do well with an 18-20” barrel. There’s not a critter alive I can think of that would know the difference wether it was shot with a 24” or 20” .308, I’d rather not lug that longer stick around in the woods.

[@GuyGooding-q9o]

My first time on this channel and I want to say hello ! You have some nice rifles & new equipment. After more than 50yrs of reloading experience, a few suggestions for better videos . Please list your handload info along with the velocity results . Always take your torque driver & keep it in range bag along with your range rod . Glad to see your rifles have longer barrels instead of the carbine length , cartridge killers you see on most newbie channels these days . Suppressors are nice on the range but make for unwieldy hunting rigs . Shooting , hunting and reloading are great life long pursuits!! Enjoy young man . Cheers

wonder why Pure Precision fluted the bolt up/left for a right bolt instead of down/right?

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

I’m not sure!

[@worland89]

Get some N560 or N565 and you will see better numbers out of the 7mm prc. RL26 would also be good but I wouldn’t base a load around it because availability

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

What about n570?

[@flaganpetska6179]

I dont think you can get enough in the case to make it work. I have 195 EOL’s at 2880 fps in a 22” barrel. 68.2 gr N565. That is a very hot load so i would not recommend jumping to that powder charge

[@worland89]

@justanotherguyadventures like stated from flag I think you are going to start having issues with case capacity with N570. I’ve heard of people using it with the heavier bullets, but I have no personal experience.

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

@@worland89 thanks for the info I’ll have to give some of those powders a try

[@jfess1911]

Is that using a 7 WSM case, or is it a 300 WSM case necked down? For those who don't know, the 7 WSM case's shoulder is farther forward, giving it more capacity than the 270 or 300 WSM. The 7 WSM cases were harder to find for quite a while, so many people chambered for the easier to find 300 WSM case and necked it down to 7mm.

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

It’s a true 7 WSM case!

[@darrylpacholko5495]

4 inches more barrel makes a pretty big difference.

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

So is 10grs of powder!

[@rcrecklessness]

With 180s Wsm-4831sc 60 max Retumbo-66.2 max Prc-4831sc 62-63.4 max Retumbo-67-69 max I dont see how any way shape or form it is 10 grns it's 3 not to mention that is with wsm loaded to 2.80 as soon as you go to 2.95 you have more capacity. The wsm case actually holds more water. It's just at the 2.800 it can't hold as much powder since a 180 is so deep. Or a 195 in your testing Not to mention the prc with a 26" barrel would hit 2900 fps with only 3 grns more, for all intensive purposes I think the cartridges are very evenly matched when the wsm has a longer throat factory to factory no comparison.

It’s a Remington 700 long action blue printed in a bell and Carlson stock. It also has another wood stock it came with. I can’t remember if it’s a Lilija barrel or not I’ll look. It’s probably only a 1-9 twist. Timmney trigger. And just has a arken on it for right now!

7wsm is a great cartridge, however the 195s are a poor choice for hunting and the 180s are often ballistically superior with the gain in velocity. There's a lot of stories of those not functioning on game. I would glady take a PRC over a wsm just from the component availability standpoint. Try some 175 or 180s in them and see how they do

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

Absolutely!

7PRC out did the 7wsm. A 4in longer barrel and you average 25 to 50fps per inch. So I don’t see how it’s keeping up its paces.

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

10 grains less powder? More like 13 grains less?

[@matthewreid1338]

Why not use the sMe powder in the 2 cartridges? Retumbo works very well in 7 wsm and would crush prc. I shoot both. Or shoot 7828 ssc in each and showcase the cartridge not the powder selection? I understand that you are trying to show what the prc can do. Just my humble opinion. I shoot a 7 sherman max with a 26" 183 smk going 2980.

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

I did use the same powder the 7 WSM couldn’t keep up with retumbo. I was really just testing to see if the 7 WSM could get 7 PRC speeds with heavy 195 bergers with a longer barrel. Which it did! I wouldn’t it be better to use the right powered for the cartridge to really test them?

[@matthewreid1338]

@@JustAnotherGuyAdventures as i stated 7828 is i think the best middle ground for both. I have done a lot of testing on 7wsm, i have been playing with 7 prc.

[@eldomouton4615]

Specs on the rifles?7 wsm saami chamber?

[@jfess1911]

Looking at the loaded cartridge, it looks like a custom chamber with a much longer throat. It looks like a long action would be needed for it (the rifle itself is a Rem 700 long action). That is the issue with Short Magnums, they need longer actions to keep the bullet out of the powder compartment and perform their best. They were designed before laser rangefinders became widely available, so they were designed to shoot relatively light bullets very flat out to 400 yards or so errors in range estimation would not be a big deal. Within a few years, after good rangefinders became affordable, longer, heavier, higher-BC bullets became more popular.

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

@@eldomouton4615 it’s a long action. Not positive on the chamber I believe Saami, but I didn’t build this rifle I bought it

[@rotasaustralis]

Good vid. Would be nice to see a video on Mean Radius instead of group ES. There are a number of considerable advantages to focusing only on mean radius & leaving group ES off the table altogether. Group ES is almost irrelevant when assessing hunting rifle accuracy. ES has been used for decades, before the virtues of mean radius were recognised & unfortunately, we continue to live with group ES legacy. The negatives of ES are that there are only ever 2 data points regardless of the number of shots in the group. The 2nd & most important negative of group ES is that the two shots dictate the accuracy between the two worst shots & not the proximity of all the shots to the POA or, the centre of the Points of impact. Mean Radius on the other hand, takes account of every shot in the group, tells you where the impacts are with respect to your POA &, allows the hit probability to be calculated with regard to the target range. Mean Radius also shows the rifles true repeatability over a reasonable number of shots by averaging the POI dispersion with regard to the POA. This is especially relevant to hunters where it is only the POI correlation to the POA which is important. Mean radius will put an entirely different focus on how you assess your rifle accuracy/repeatability.

[@JustAnotherGuyAdventures]

I agree completely this really wasn’t a ES video. This was just a video to see if I could get the 7 WSM to 7 PRC speeds. I appreciate the comment. I use mean radius myself a little getting more and more into it!

[@rotasaustralis]

@@JustAnotherGuyAdventures I forgot to mention the results you got were very interesting. I thought for sure the PRC would get higher velocities than the WSM. My initial comment on Mean radius wasn't a criticism. Not that you seem to have taken it as such, just making my position clear. I have been commenting on other channels as well about the benefits of mean radius over ES. I truly think it's about time there was a move away from group ES. I honestly believe group ES is detrimental to how shooters perceive their rifle accuracy & I'm trying to encourage channels to make the change. Mean radius is so much more interesting & can provide so much more reliable information. I look fwd to your next vid.
