7mm PRC is SAAMI approved.

9.5-twist is pretty standard for most 7-mags. I've used the 175gr Nosler Partition in my 7mm magnums for years with great results, but these ultra long bullets nowadays are pretty crazy.

I was working on a 145gr LRX load with my last 7-mag, not quite the BC of the 175 ELD-X but still pretty good "modern" design, loaded to 3.340" oal. Last rifle I got them to 3150fps and the drop chart on that was looking pretty tasty.

1-9.25 is a Remington phenomenon only.

Of course Remington Chucky - it's a Remington Cartridge 7 MM REMINGTON MAGNUM 1962

OK Jimmy

 

[Slimbo]

have you used the 180-M's on any game yet...I read somewhere the Hornady boys are mostly using M's on their hunts?

Negative, only paper. I have read some compelling anecdotes though. It sure slips the wind!

Do you think it has enough juice to drop a llama at a kilometre out of the 280 AI though?

 

[Slimbo]

And then some. Not a good choice at 10 feet though, might pencil right thru going that fast.

Ron Spomer review of the cartridge

I have never seen the industry in marketing lock step with a roll out like this one. Wow.

 

[hawk-i]

I sent an email off to Lapua asking about brass for the 7 PRC on the weekend

This was their answer ;

Thank you for your E-mail and request.
At the moment we are pretty fully booked. And we don’t have plans to produce that in the near future. But never say never.
Regards
Janne

If they look at their 6.5 PRC & 300 PRC sales numbers I am sure the 7 PRC will be in development for Lapua.

The 7 PRC barks and the llamas hit the dirt!

 

[Buckmastr]

Nice shooting! How far?!

 

[conor_90]

10 yards, followup at a kilometre. Man they can make it far with a hole in them, tough animals

Just glad I’m out on the flatlands now. I imagine if cornered in the bush it would have torn me a new one instead of running

See. You should’ve shot it with the 195gr EOL. Stands for “excellent on llamas”

 

[remington jim]

You know you’re getting near rock bottom when you have the leash in one hand and a $5k custom rifle in the other.

Isn’t that the truth ! Sickening . RJ
