On this episode, Seth is joined by fellow marketeer, Judd Jarzynka, and Assistant Director of Engineering, Joe Thielen. This episode is centered around the “PRC” family of rifle cartridges. Specifically, the topic of “which one should you choose?” The guys break the conversation down by application and share their thoughts on which they would choose in a variety of scenarios. It’s sure tough to play favorites in the PRC line, so you may feel the urge to collect them all!

I had bought both the 300prc and the 6.5prc in anticipation of the 7. The 300 is definitely Thor's hammer! With a little weight and the right muzzle brake, the recoil is very manageable. Im currently working up a load for the Barnes 208gr LRX bullet but would love to try the 190CX. With that being said, the 6.5 is my baby. Its everything I want. In fact I will probably build a 2nd rifle in that caliber. The 147gr ELD-M has been devastating on everything Ive shot. Looking forward to a 7prc build for a friend very soon. Thank you for your continued work and development on these new cartridges and these high BC bullets. Its making long range shooting easier for the average person.

Seth, you said it, and I agree. I "HAVE ALL THREE". working on load test/development on the 6.5 this weekend. All my PRCs have two load solutions; one for a CX and one for either the ELDX or Berger VLD.

Thanks for this Hornady Podcast. It was interesting to hear the perspectives from each of you. My cartridge proposal would be something along the lines of similar velocity to the 6.5 creedmoor in 7mm option. I have heard people doing a 7-6.5 PRC wildcat, but it would be nice to have a factory option. I also think it would appeal to those who don’t think 6.5 is enough, but also want something with a bit less recoil.

I shoot a 6,5 PRC as hunting and sporting caliber in a Ruger Precision Rifle here Germany. I dont mind the weight as my hunting is from a high stand for safety reasons (angle toward the ground) only and the walk to that is seldom more than half a Kilometer. I need a minimum of 6,5 mm bullet diameter and the 6,5 PRC compliments my 6,5 Grendel. Great Podcast as always. Greetings from Germany 🍀👋🏻.

I run short barrels on 5 of my guns. Remington XP-100, in 7mm RSAUM (17.5” bbl; 162 ELDX @ 2850 fps), 30 Nosler (18.5” bbl; 210’s @ 2825 fps). The 7mm PRC is the one I’m likely to do next in a rifle with at least a 24”-26” bbl, or the 6.5 PRC in an XP-100 with a 17.5”-18.5” bbl As much as I like the 300 PRC, I’ve got a custom 300 RUM that leaves the 300 PRC in the dust, but it’s a custom chamber that basically fixes the issues with the SAAMI chamber. Nice podcast. Keep up the good work. No need to run faster powders for shorter barrels either (well documented by handgun hunters/shooters over the past decades).

I'd like to suggest barrel contours and dimensions as a topic for a podcast, specifically the question of what barrel contour do you need as you move up in cartridge size? The Remington Varmint/Sendero (Proof Sendero Light) is very popular, but has a very short shank which may not be ideal for large magnum cartridges like the 300 PRC. We've seen issues in testing carbon fiber barrels with these larger and more powerful cartridges. I notice that Proof no longer offers barrels in Sendero Light contour longer than 22" for 7mm and up. What's your recommendation on barrel contours and material for larger, more powerful cartridges like the 300 PRC, 300 NM, etc?

For my purposes here in Alberta, and I've hunted BC a lot, the 6.5 would do fine, a 7 would too, but, a either would have to be in a carefully built gun with the right stock on it. The stock makes more difference than most people would ever believe, design and material it is built in matter. Can't have suppressors here, no use for a brake, so it'll be a 24" bbl either way. I'm not running out and buying a PRC, don't need it, I have used 7-08 on everything up to moose, had 7RM's and a 338WM and 450-400NE, still have a 300H&H too. The go to now is a 30R Blaser, will test out a 6.5CM,, the 7-08 and the 300 are there, if I want to use them

I’m honestly more impressed with my 280ai. 300prc I see zero advantage over a 300wm for hunting. Just my honest opinion.

Great discussion 👍 I just bought a 6.5 prc barreled action for a precision build. I did about 3 months of arduous due diligence for making the decision. I have a 300 WinMag, 7mm Rem Mag as my "big guns". With the choices in factory loads and especially with developing hand loads, both of them will do anything I want to do, at the cost of recoil. I want to get into the LR target arena and I just didn't feel like my 25.06, 22.250, 7.08, or.308 win were capable of being competitive even with load development. There's just not a selection of really high performance projectiles and with the case limitations, I figured I should get something made for the task. Would it be fun to have a 25cal prc? Sure, but it's basically a 6mm and we've already been there and done that. A 270 also occupies an in between area plus with the 270wsm, what you don't like about the regular 270 can be achieved. It would be cool if better projectiles for some of the existing calibers were developed, that would be fun, but I get it ; for the cost of R&D you probably would never make the money back or they would be cost prohibitive for the consumer. I think you guys did exactly what should have been done, by taking 3 popular and common rounds and working them to the endth degree 🤙 Thanks again!

I think the 6.5 is the best all around hunting round of the three. Short action for a light rifle, least recoil, and basically 270 (or better performance. That’s a winning combo. I also think a 7mm on the 6.5 case would be cool. And maybe a 338 on the 300 case.

Per the podcast request. Please neck the 6.5 down to 6mm PRC to create the ultimate Midwest coyote/deer combo. Also neck the 7 PRC down to 25 for a Western Laser Beam and up to 338 for an All Around Alaskan Cartridge (focused on 225 CX and 230 ELD-X). Also I will use this platform to continue to plead for the reintroduction and support of the RCM cartridges 😊

I went with the 7mm PRC with a 22" barrel. I chose it for versatility. From pronghorn to brown bear, I think this could do it. Are there better choices at those extremes? Sure. But is there a better choice for doing ALL of that? I doubt it. I haven't shot anything but paper with it yet. Shot some of the Precision Hunter but I have a box of Outfitter I want to try. I would love to see a 25 PRC! (In a true short action, rather than the almost-short action of the 6.5") Something like that might put my 25-06 out to pasture. And maybe I'll get a 375 Ruger for that brown bear.

I absolutely love my 6mm PRC and I would love it if Hornady adopted it and started making some factory ammo for it. In my experience, it can do everything that a 6.5 PRC can do within about 1000 yards (at my high mountain altitude anyway) but has much less recoil which allows for better follow ups and shoots extremely flat which helps with any ranging errors. I've taken coyote and elk with it, nothing has required more than 1 shot with a 110 grain Hornady Atip traveling at 3340 fps or a Cutting Edge MTH 88gr at 3630.

I love my 6.8 spc. The 120 sst absolutely SMACKs under 300 yards. However, it’d be awesome to get more distance with the same bullet diameter. The reason the Grendel and 6arc perform better at distance is that they have the long, high bc bullets. The spc came out right before that took off. So my challenge is this: a high bc 6.8 sst packed into a creedmoor case, as an option for ar10 platform as well as bolt guns. It would essentially be a 6.5 cm necked up to 6.8 but would probably punch harder for any naysayers to the 6.5 effectiveness on deer. The 6.8 western missed the mark by having a larger case diameter, so it isn’t applicable to the ar platform.

That's more or less impossible in a 338 caliber. High BC 338 bullets start up at 275-300gr. In order to push those, you need a long action or more. Even a 33 nosler doesn't really have the capacity to shoot high bc 338s. You need to step up to the 100gr+ case capacity to shoot those. So... 338lapua, 338 norma. The 338rcm was a ballistic twin to the 338-06. You can still find rifles chambered in both, but 338rcm brass more or less doesn't exist and factory ammo is long gone. It's pretty easy to make 338-06 brass. But high BC bullets it cannot push.

My thoughts would be a 22 PRC, but I have no idea how that would compare to the 22 ARC. I picked up a 7 PRC, 22" barrel, and can't wait to get to the range. What suppressor should I get for it? My priorities are light weight and compact size. And, I'd hope to have dB of less than 140 for the shooter.

When you're going over numbers on the paper, a number you should include are hit probability statistics with each. Would probably be more useful than the retained velocity at 800yards where 1% of hunters are capable of shooting an animal at that range.

With a 7 prc you just need a 30” barrel to hit box posted velocities. It’s sad to see that the 7 prc doesn’t hit advertised velocities. Will you add the 6.8 western, you mentioned the .277 prc as an option, it would just be a remake of it.

I shot the 180 ELDM factory 2975 22 inch barrel, 2810 avg. Pretty sad. Im gonna handload so think it will do better. I love my 300 but with 26 inch barrel an suppressor its a field gun lol

@JosephWilhoit-ef6nl I figured Federal would do better as it most likely is loaded with RL26 when I get gun back I'm going go try a box. The terminal ascent remind me of the old Interbond bullets which I loved but better BC. I'm still gonna hand load but wanna try out of curiosity. It'll be 18 inches but I bet it'll do better than Hornady with 22 inches

The 6.5prc and 270win are ballistic twins. If your 270 can't shoot the heavies, maybe look at one of the new browning or winchester fast twist 270wins.

​@z987k .. we all know that Hornady is the bully of the bullet industry.. if they didn't invent the 6.8 western, they said they will not support the caliber.. you know what this means. If you don't buy our PRC's we will take our ball and go home... if you don't play by our rules and do what we say, we'll extort you. Now take that bloody nose home.

What is the difference between ELD-m and V Match ammo, maybe you can deep dive into the different match grade ammo you sell. Also curious what is the difference between say, Hornady match brass, Lapua, Petersen and Alpha brass. How does Hornady brass compare to those other brands of brass.

most dont use a ten pound rifle when hunting that is heavy so more recoil for most. a decent length with a can yes. half mile is 880 yards not 800. as for tge 300 PRC who needs it or wants the recoil? very very few for most the 6.5 is plenty who gets an elk tag? or needs something for bears or moose/bison? few need more than the 6.5 with that CX bullet. if you have a 7 rem mag maybe tune that. for many a 6.5 with a smaller calibre for varmints and similar will cover most things they do and need. the 6 creed or an old 243 with classic stock or a 222 even.

Recoil for 300 PRC isn’t that bad. But with a brake it knocks it down to 6.5 creedmoor levels. If my 120 pound wife can get sub 3/4” groups with it with no brake…a grown ass man should be able to do the same.

Why have yall continued to keep the .532” measurement at the Webb/.200” of the case? This has cause clickers since the 6.5 PRC and had cause many to get modified reamers with the Webb being .535”.

My Bergara premier approach 6.5 prc is shooting factory federal terminal ascent 130 grain at 3,100 fps. The crazy thing is, and I have seen this on all kinds of prc videos, 270 guys just can't accept that if a 270 is throwing a 130 at the same speed, the 6.5 prc is still more potent. At least a tie. But they are dead set that .264 isn't enough even though it's getting .264 mag ballistics.

I love my 6.5 and 7 PRC’s but man, the 7 has been just a little disappointing when it comes to performance. Accurate as can be but with a 22” barreled rifle it’s a bit weak. I’m getting almost 200fps less than advertised out of the Outfitter 160gr CX loads (yes I know they were tested/advertised with a 24” barrel)

@chevyon37s
@chevyon37s 3 ай бұрын
@@RepublicofTX Thanks captain Obvious. The point I’m making is that’s a lot of velocity difference for 2” less of barrel and is much greater than the 25-50fps loss per inch of barrel than is commonly seen as your barrel gets shorter. So is the muzzle velocity listed on the box of Hornady ammo bogus, or is it an issue within the ammo itself like too slow of a powder selection to work with the shorter 22” barrels that are becoming more popular on hunting rifles as more and more people hunt with suppressors?
