7MM build to "do it all"

Thought this was reasonably well done, like he says, some folk will disagree, but, he fleshes his points out fairly well, he is a bit longwinded though. It's 20 vids, I'd recommend #2, 18, 19 to keep it reasonably short. Compares the 280AI, 7RM, 7PRC and 28Nos---with a 160 CX, factory vs handloads, ballistics, barrel lives, most practical for folks out to 600yds

I ve got a lot of 7 mm s - 284 W 280 REM 280AI 7 RM 7 PRC 7 STW 7-300 WBee

The 7 PRC is a much Improved 7 RM - better head spacing - better Coal with heavy bullets yet keeping powder capacity because of case design . Very little overbore so good barrel life etc etc etc ! 🤪😀

Ballistically “ I “ think the 7 PRC is the BEST cartridge for its FPS And it’s COAL ! And bullet weight .
Lots of the other cartridges are Great too ,! Such as the 280 AI but it needs a long action with its long COAL with heavy mono bullets as do most of Big 7 s .
The. { my } 7 PRC will shoot 180s at 3000 168 s at 3150 160s at 3200 and they all fit in a Tikka T3X action and mag .

TH - I have a 284 W LW rifle in a short action and it’s Coal is limited to LW bullets 120-130 with any performance
Those LW bullets are not good for a LR hunting rifle . 🤷🏼‍♂️
Now in a Std or LA the 284 can perform pretty good but the 280 AI is still superior in ballistics .

JMHO 😀. RJ

Mind sharing the load data? In really interested in the 7prc but wasn't sure those velocities were achievable
 
Just watched this. For me and most Canucks we don't get to use the advantage of a suppressed short barrel so there's a bit of a lost advantage to the purpose of a high pressure cartridge. If you can't reload for it, that was a deal breaker for me. Clearly RCBS is making dies. I will question case life/annealing and the nature of steel in wet conditions. Just more food for the brain.
