Thank you for all the proactive information gathering youve done for the community. They should also understand their own limitations. Jim, nice summary on the 7PRC. I reload and would be VERY interested in learning more about being able to use less powder to achieve higher velocities with the the same bullet in 7 PRC vs 7 rem mag. It produces 1,500 ft-lbs of energy for elk-sized game out to 510 yards, and 1,000 ft-lbs for deer-sized game to 810 yards. I am looking to build a new (all in one) rifle.

The second, and in my opinion, the most difficult to compensate for is wind deflection. Sorry man, wasn't going after anyone, it's a hotly contested issue around the guys I run with, guess i just assumed it would be here too. This free bore acts as a gas expansion chamber, maximizing velocity due to a longer pressure curve. For this ballistics demonstration we are using Norma 150gr Scirocco with a muzzle velocity of 3117fps and a ballistic coefficient of 0.536.

Seems like they are trying to reinvent the wheel given that the 7mm STW (strangely missing from this article for comparisons) does everything the 7mm PRC does and more for over 40 years: 180gr in the 3000-3200fps range. For example, having 1,500 ft-lbs of energy to kill a bull elk is a decent barometer, but elk have also been killed with far less energy when excellent shot placement and good bullet construction are in play.

If you're after deeper penetration, look at the 139-grain Barnes VOR-TX Long. This streamlined, long 0.284 bullet cuts through the atmosphere with minimal drag effect, thus retaining velocity and energy far downrange (as you can see from the graph). Most simple ballistic calculators take air density into account, and change the manufacturer's standard sea level Ballistic Coefficient to match the environmental conditions. 7mm Remington Magnum The 7mm Remington Magnum has long been a favorite of Western hunters, providing flat-shooting performance like the .270 Win.

For example, most of the all-copper expanding bullets need something like 1,900 0r 2,000 fps to expand even a little. We all understand how gravity works, and with the additional corrections for atmospheric conditions, a bullet's drop is easily calculated. As long as its a standard long-action, you should be just fine putting a 7 PRC barrel on it. That doesnt mean I should take a shot that far. i have a 6.5 prc after reading this page on 7mm prc theres not enough extra hump in this new prc to justify buying one, I have three 7mags but I also have a 300wsm that lays down the gauntlett and beats this prc at everything. personally I like the 338 luapa and the 6.5 creed, reasonable to shoot compared to a 50 bmg and they will get you out there where you want to be and dont skip on the glass , high quality glass and big power isnt cheap either.

Nice build Jim. I had to calculate the 100gr at 3500fps. Now, if we could just shoot a bullet with a BC of 0.800 at a muzzle velocity of 4000 fps, we would have an awesome long range hunting round! Hopefully more options than what the 6.8 Western. Ok but im kind of confused with a heavier bullet wouldnt it just drop faster??? Great cartridge. Final load 61.6 grains 1/4moa.
