HEAD-TO-HEAD: 6.5 PRC / 7mm PRC / 300 PRC

[@backfire]

Great vid Gavin. 7 PRC is awesome. Mild enough for short barrels, enough powder capacity to hit that magical 3,000fps with heavy bullets, it has all the ballistic advantages of the 284 caliber, and it’s a modern case built for reloading today’s bullets. We’re gonna be talking about this one for decades to come.

[@Ultimatereloader]

Totally agree Jim I am pretty excited about this new cartridge.

[@jamespmullin21753]

Yea like why didn't it catch on? I know about the PRC lineup. The WSMs, SAUMs, RUMs, Noslers, RCMs, Rugers...They all live short lives, fade away and the older cartridges stay on their thrones. The worst thing is the promoters of these cartridge lines just stop producing guns and ammo for them. I have a few. Try to find ammo. I have or had the 8mm Remmag, 7mm RUM, 375 and 416 Rugers. Since covid the ammo for the 375 has gone up $30 and the 416 up about the same. 416 Ruger ammo is hard to find. Remington does not list factory ammo for the RUMs or SAUMs except for the 300 RUM. So go get the new gimick cartridges but you better handload.

[@miketyson8933]

I laugh at all these new little rounds, long range guys don't mess with this crap nor do special forces! .300 Norma Mag .338 Norma Mag or the real long shooters are going the BIG Cheytac's these are over priced BS IMO only new round that will blow up huge is one people arent even looking at much but its actually picking up steam its the 6.8 Western its hitting 17% harder at 500 yards then the 6.5 PRC and 34% harder then the 6.5 Creedmore! The 6.8 Western is the updated bad boy deer round .270 WSM!!!

[@barrysensing7672]

7 mm PRC looks like a great round. Basically an updated 7mm Rem Mag capable of shooting the heavier, high BC bullets slightly faster. The rifle chambers are supposed to have tighter tolerances as well. The barrel twist rates are 1 in 8" versus 1 in 9.5" used on most 7 mm Rem Mag rifles. I really hope the 7mm PRC takes off and becomes popular for years to come. The 7mm Rem Mag is proven and lasted the test of time. Not jumping on the 7mm PRC until I see how well it passes the test of time.

[@benduroch]

I’ve got a 300 prc for the fact you stated, heavy hitter! Especially if you load them nice heavy bullets

[@bustabass9025]

My 28 Nosler takes the place of the 7mm PRC. I absolutely love what it does with 168 grain Nosler AccuBond LR bullets, and Retumbo magnum powder. I opted for the 300 PRC as my foray into long range hunting beyond 500 yards. Being a handloader gets me excited about the possibilities available with brass encased laser rays, and venison recipes.

[@aidos99x]

Still waiting for tikka to come out with a 7mm PRC

[@LRRPFco52]

Run the numbers at elk altitude for Mountain West region in the US, and the downrange ballistics change considerably. It’s one of the most overlooked realities when getting an idea about performance. We don’t see elk below 7000ft that often. They sometimes come down to the edges of farmland to eat, but typically stay in the 8,000-9,500ft elevations in Wasatch and Rockies at least. Density Altitude is super thin up in those elevations, great for LR ballistics, so the 6.5 PRC will still have a lot more speed and energy than down in the thick air at sea level. 7mm PRC and 300 PRC get even better as well.

[@barryboyd7973]

Good point. Altitude/Air Density makes a big difference.

[@LRRPFco52]

@@barryboyd7973 First thing I look at on my Kestrel is barometric pressure and temperature before making inputs into my program. I don’t ever see higher than 25.4” Hg unless I go out of State.

[@LRRPFco52]

@@foonus406 There are definitely elk to be found at lower elevations in North America, but the majority of them have migrated up into higher elevations for us in the US. Moose and elk can be found at lower elevations in the Great Lakes region, and moose in New England, which are all close to sea level. Woods are thick there, so not a lot of long range opportunities like in the West.

[@TheStephenS80]

Outstanding! Hornady has done it again! Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!

[@barryboyd7973]

The 7MM PRC is the modern version of a 7MM REM. I expect it will be a big hit. For North American game, it might just be the ultimate cartridge. Every cartridge is a trade off between recoil and down range performance. The 7MM hits a sweet spot and this cartridge looks like it will outperform all other 7MM’s by being the closest to the optimum trade-off. It might take a while for rifle and ammunition manufacturers to fill the void, but when they do, this is going to be a very popular caliber. If you have a 7MM REM already, no need to sell it or anything. But, this would be a something to consider for a future purchase or build. Berger really changed everything with its longer high BC bullets. This 7MM PRC is just one more example of a new cartridge built to take full advantage of long, high BC bullets.

[@bqoutdoors2334]

The seven PRC has multiple issues with a lot of different gun platforms for being very un accurate due to recoil and flinch factor to me if you look at the factors 6.5 PRC is the clear winner and shoots over 1000 yards easily

[@trevorkolmatycki4042]

It looks like the 7PRC pushing a 168gr barnes LRX to 3050fps is going to be a darn fine Moose/Elk cartridge... pretty much matches the ballistics of a 300WSM pushing a 175gr barnes LRX to 3100fps.. This new 7PRC, like the 300WSM is a sweet spot cartridge... and will likely become very popular in F-class and in hunting.

[@LSC2001]

The 300 WSM is sweet. Loved mine. Sold it for a 6.5 PRC setup. I think my next gun will either be a 300 WSM build or 7 PRC build. I like the short action but the 7 PRC has some nice high BC bullets for long range shooting. It’s a toss up.

Your point about COL and "drop in ability" is a very good point. I think one of the biggest reasons 6.5 Creedmoor managed to get so ubiquitous so quickly is that the only thing needed to convert your .308 Win to 6.5 CM is a barrel, and now Hornady has done basically the same thing for .300 Win Mag owners.

[@LRRPFco52]

That was the allure to .260 Rem before 6.5CM and 6.5x47 Lapua came along. 6.5x47L is a very well-designed cartridge with an extremely efficient case that can take a beating.

Don't know where this dude is getting his numbers, but just check backfire's site for what I would consider a more accurate/objective comparison. Less drop from the 6.5 over range. It's just physics. A new cartridge isn't just a boon to rifle and ammunition manufacturers. Those whose business is based on views related to covering said ammunition and rifles are equally benefited by it. Not saying I won't pay attention and be interested, but everyone should do their own independent research to make their own objective assessment.

I love what I see on the ballistics of the 7 PRC but I wish that it didn't require the long action, that's what makes the 6.5 PRC so appealing to most initially.

Could be some truth to that but, considering that we are now in a whole new century, with more new gun owners entering the sport buying there first real “magnum action” rifle, or hanging up the hammy down rifle to preserve as an heirloom/ collectible, Hornady may have timed this right. Think of all those first time gun buyers the last couple years, Millions, many will probably go for having a whole set of firearms to play in all the different shooting sports. so once you get bored with your soft 556, and find places to shoot further, and realize how much your likely to shoot your “Magnum” each year with all your other plinkers.

Thoughts on 7mm PRC vs 300wsm vs 308 for baseline ? ... hunting elk, 1,000y plate competition, and platform flexibility also ?

[@2Amend4Life]

Can’t wait for rest of collection. .22 PRC, 6mm PRC, and 375 PRC.

[@skidow1]

So I use a 270 win Sako 85 for deer and below, a 300 WinMag Sako 85 for elk and above. I’m not sure why I’d need this calibre.

[@skrewloose102]

I think we need a PRC vs WSM comparison.

[@geothunder1971]

Please add 6.8 western in that debate

[@mryang3644]

Nope... VS Sherman Line up

[@Learning_2_shoot]

The Velocity comparison chart doesn’t look right. It looks like the 7mm and the 300 are starting at well over 3400 fps and then the 300 is always ahead. Is the graph wrong or am I not reading it right?

[@edstettin6799]

Would have been nice to see you use all ELDX bullets in this comparison. 143, 175, 212. Great video though. I love the PRC cartridges.

[@christopherscott6794]

So I just checked some listed load data by Hornady and they listed for the 300 PRC a 175gn able to go 3200. At 1000 yards it drops 235 inches. The 7mm PRC Hornaday lists a max load for 180gn as 2950. The total drop for the 7mm PRC at 1000yds is 237.2. I bring this up because higher BC does not always equate to less drop. High BC and High velocity is a better recipe for flat shooting cartridges. Im not sure why you say that the 7PRC is flatter shooting when it is not. I think it is wise to look at the case a bullet combo that produces the best results together rather than 2 random bullets from each cartridge. Thanks for the videos I lean a lot on some of them.

[@ryancloward7394]

You should to a 6.5 PRC VS 6.8 Western. I think it got banished very quickly both with marketing and timing of the release.

[@B-rad303]

Gavin. IMO.. The Ramshot LRT it's the best for these 7mm magnums and 300 magnums. plus you can stuff the case almost full of powder getting a complete case fill with no air gaps. it's such a slow burning powder. it's insanely consistent ive done pretty extensive testing

[@barryfitzgerald3839]

Do a video on pro’s and cons of long and short action please

[@TacticalConsiderations]

Currently looking at my next caliber. 40 inches less drop is very tempting.

[@abhisunkara]

at @8:49 what does the chart mean? the numbers are all over the place.

[@njgrplr2007]

What does Hornady have to say about the projected barrel life for the 7 PRC?

[@CandelarioSanchez-ji1qq]

If my favorite round is 270wsm and wanted a new like this rounds which of this would be compared to I appreciate your input thanks in advance 👊

[@tonydevich7937]

So nice you put this info out for us shooters

[@NatureMan50]

wonder if they're going to come out with a 33 PRC?

[@jakerichards9133]

Excellent video! I would love to suggest a 7mm PRC vs 7mm Saum comparison?

[@scottschmidt7517]

I was looking a a 7 SAUM or Sherman Short build, but with what I have “laying” around and this being a SAAMI cartridge I’m leaning towards the 7MM PRC build. Question would be how would accurate would lighter projectiles be with the 1:8 twist? Looking forward to components coming out in up coming months….hopefully not years!

[@wyattmoore2487]

I hope i dont sound like an idiot on here, but for as long as i can remember ive shot 308 and all my friends and family shoot either 308 or a 30 06. Ive been really looking into the 300 win mag but the 7 prc piques my interest but what would i look at as far as price, availability, and versatility

[@Edward-nw8kq]

Hey Gavin you’re the best brother, you do fantastic informative videos God bless you God bless America and God bless the republic

[@wayne8276]

Concerning twist rate 1 :8 recommended . I'm looking to purchase a CVA with 1: 9.5 twist rate . What performance degrade can I expect ? If any . Thank you .

[@drewriggs812]

I am torn. I am a 7mm guy, but I also like short-actions. While recoil hasn't ever been a big concern to me I am starting to mind it more in the last couple year's. I also do not care for humping heavy rifles up the mountains anymore. I will probably go with the 7 PRC unless I decide to go with the 6.5.

[@talisikid1618]

That’s a thing too.

[@tortor2750]

i have 300wm, can i change 300 prc barrel o it? everything exept chamber they have same.🤔

[@toddjenest3212]

If I have the 6.5 Creedmoor and the 6 ARC, would I even "need" a 6.5 PRC? I'm thinking about my next rifle being the 300 PRC.
