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!!!

Great video as always. I'm excited about this one. This looks like exactly what I've been wanting for years.

[@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.

[@ryanprince8925]

Thanks for putting this out! Very helpful

[@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.

So nice you put this info out for us shooters

[@riaanwilliams8529]

Top video Gavin with good information

[@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. One of the main range complexes I love to shoot at is usually 23.4”. 7000ft 23.1” 8000ft 22.2” 9000ft 21.4” These are the altitude bands I find myself in when in elk country in the Rockies or Uintahs.

[@foonus406]

Let me introduce you to a small town named Ponoka, Alberta, Canada. Elevation avg 800 Meters (2620 Feet). Ponoka means 'elk' in Blackfoot. You're correct about the ballistics at altitude though ;)

[@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.

I already have several factory rifles, custom rifles or at least barreled actions in some of the more popular 6.5mm's and 7mm's SAAMI and Wildcats. When I heard about this cartridge I got really excited and knew at minimum I was going to get a really nice barreled action built to drop into one of my chassis but now I'm going to get a hunting rifle built or I'll buy a factory one as well. I think this cartridge is going to be a huge hit in the long range competition world along with the hunting because it checks so many boxes. I can't wait to get my hands on everything to start shooting and tinkering...

[@MontanaWillie44]

I have a 6.8 and was contemplating a 7 PRC also…then I thought why. I just wish the 6.8 got more factory ammo options. I’m from Montana and lived near HSM and have been hounding them about loading it but I think Browning and Winchester aren’t allowing anyone else yet. I know Hornady never will but I wish HSM, and Federal would do it.

[@gpearce11]

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.

[@jameskozlowski5496]

@@LRRPFco52 6.5x47 my favorite cartridge of all time.

I have used the 6.5 prc and 300 prc. I very excited to try the 7mm prc as I think it’s a winner for me. Better ballistics than the 7mm rem mag and 300 win mag with less recoil than the 300 win mag and 300 wsm. I think the 7mm prc is going to be the best of the 3.

[@timothystegner3234]

[@208bowmaddnneess]

7 prc is gunna be great. Hopefully we don’t see any more clicker issues! Now we just have to wait for brass availability to support it. I will keep my 7 saum but may rebarrel to 7 prc once it’s shot out. I love my 300 prc. I’ll keep my cm over the 6.5 version though

[@TexanUSMC8089]

Great video. The 6.5 PRC has about the same case capacity as a 270 Winchester. If you shoot a factory rifle with factory ammo, the 6.5 PRC will beat the 270 at any distance. The same goes for the 7 PRC and the 7 Rem Mag. Very similar capacity and bullets, but the 7 PRC will beat the 7 Rem Mag at any range. It carries on for the 300 PRC and 300 Win Mag. I'm a big fan of the 7 Rem Mag. If I didn't have a large 7mm, I would be looking for a 7 PRC. I have three 6.5 PRC rifles. Two of them are built on short-action Savage actions because the mag is longer than most other factory rifles. It required no mods. I just screwed on the new barrel and set the headspace. I used McGowan barrels and they shoot outstanding.

[@ronws2007]

It's exciting to see the performance of 7 PRC but is it worth the wait as ammo supplies have to ramp up? There are few companies, such as Mossberg, already building 7 mm PRC but not so readily available. As opposed to 7 mm Rem Mag, which is more available and I seen someone take an elk at 1,378 yards with a 7 mm RM.

[@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.

[@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.

[@trevorkolmatycki4042]

@@LSC2001 Interesting that you want to go back up in caliber after the 6.5PRC… that is a very efficient low recoiling cartridge that guys seem to be having success with on Elk…. Lately I have been very intrigued by the 280AI with the 168gr Barnes LRX bullet… It is an ultra efficient combination. Cheers!

[@texlee1640]

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. But the idea of not needing a .30cal boom stick for Elk and other big game with the 7 PRC is appealing. I am curious how the felt recoil compares amongst the three and alongside of their peers. I think my next custom just might be a 7 PRC so long as there are great factory ammo options to choose from.

[@Dfour]

You nailed it by saying the 7prc is the all around best option.

Awesome video! I love my 6.5 PRC. However I wish I had waited on the 7 mm PRC. It seems like the perfect blend of bullet weight, speed, and power. The fact that the 6.5 PRC was a short action sold me on it at the time though. Dang, now I need a new gun. 🤣🤯🤠

Thanks Gavin, Am in the decision process of getting either a 7 or 300 PRC for hunting with a 24” carbon barrel. I already have a 300 with a 27” bull barrel but that thing is huge with a suppressor… Difficult decisions as I already have dies and Brass for the 300 PRC… But the 7 has awesome ballistics… But have to consider that we will have a lead ban in near future and a 190gr is a lot more bullet than a 160gr…

The shape of cartridges will give another boost in efficiency. The gases need to compress within and exit the cartridge with consideration of the compression waves. Abrupt angle changes always cause reflections and standing waves, even with electricity and EM waves.

[@jeremiah7855]

[@Tophet1]

I've always believed the 6.5PRC was the ultimate mountain rifle cartridge. The rest are good marketing.

[@monstersbox]

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 chose the 6.5 PRC in a Ruger American, which is fitted in a long action. I really like that for reloading. I see so many people going on about how we don't need new cartridges and how the .270 is just like a 6.5 PRC and so on. I don't know about everyone else, but I like buying new rifles, and having them all chambered in the same thing is ridiculous, in my opinion. I love a .270, but I like new guns, and with a new gun, I want a new cartridge. The 6.5 PRC is just a really sweet round for whitetail deer.

[@louwgreeff4195]

And here I'm sitting having just bought a 300 PRC kicking myself that I didn't wait for the 7mm PRC, in summary the 7mm PRC outperforms on velocity, wind drift and bullet drop, only ever so slightly advantage the 300 PRC have is marginally more energy downrange. I intend to use it for long rang steel shooting, so no use of that anyway, should have waited for the 7mmPRC. Would be nice to see some tables using the heavier A-tips. Great content

[@ZacKeenan]

They're both long actions that use the same bolt face so you can simply swap out your 300prc barrel for a 7prc barrel and you're good to go.

Gavin great video! I hunt and shoot PRS with a 7 SAUM, I hunt with 160g bullets and compete with 183g bullet. Both hammer and run great in a short action.

[@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.

Great video, but to be honest the relative merits between is pretty obvious just by looking at the cartridges. Recoil numbers would have been good to include, although one would say the 7PRC should be very similar to the 7RM (almost the same cartridge). My question is that, the benefits of longer heavier, higher BC bullets, plus the necessary higher case capacity and higher twist rates and associated higher recoil, have been known for at least 100 years. Why didnt we have these cartridges a long time ago?

I like the 6.5 PRC, personally. Good for big game and deer. Now, if all you hunt is big game I’m a even bigger fan of the 300 PRC.

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

The 7PRC sales, and custom builds are going to be crazy. Start looking for brass now!!😉

Have a 7 rem out of all of them I would get a 300 prc just seem it has the biggest advantages over what is already out and makes 1000 yards much easier
