Just got my 7mm Prc from the smith that spun up the barrel for me, right now I’m shooting factory ammo to get brass (Hornady) and it’s shooting fantastic with factory…but the rabbit hole always goes a bit deeper for the search for more.
So far I only have Hornady 175 eld-x bullets but wanting to test out a few others

Powders to test out
RL26
H1000
Vhit-568/570

Primers
Cci large rifle primers

What have others been getting out of this puppy on reloads?

Well jim. Iv been too busy reloading 223 and pistol to get around to reloading any 7prc…still working on the case of Hornady hunter through the rifle. But hopefully after hunting season I can spend a bit more time getting a load sorted out for it.
 
I think I've settled on a load that'll work in my Antler 7PRC.

ADG brass
CCI250
Barnes 168gr LRX, 0.050" off the lands
68.5 gr H1000

I'm getting an avg of 3075 fps, ES of 14, SD of 6 and grouping 0.4MOA at 100 yards. That'll do the job I think.

yes, i was at 2943fps but last range session the barrel sped up and i was averaging a hair over 3000fps.

im heading to the range tomorrow to get dialed right on zero, and shoot out to 600m to confirm my dope card.

Mine sped up a lot on me too. It seems to have settled down after ~80 rds. I still get a noticeable drop when the barrel is clean but after a couple of rounds it's right back where it was. That's expected, but it just seems more noticeable on this rifle
