[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2799638, member: 61747"] I have a run a 7 mag side by side to the 6.5 PRC. The speeds are very similar in the 7 mag to the 7 PRC. I run a 180 berger at 2950-3000 and a 168 at 3050 in a 26". My 6.5 PRC in a 22" runs a 156 at 2915 and 135 at 3100. So, the 7 mag running 3000 with a 180 vs a 6.5 PRC running a 135 at 3100...... 19.5 moa vs 19.7 moa. = .2 A 156 at 2915 is 22.1. vs 19.5 = 2.6 A 153 A Tip is 21.2. vs 19.5 = 1.7 I have not tested the 147 in the PRC, shot a pile in my 6.5-284 at 3020 in the 28". Killed a lot of wolves with those : ) I don't have a longer barrel 6.5 PRC, just 18 and 22. I have 24, 26, 28, 6.5-284's. I know I can get more speed in a longer barrel PRC but I have what I have for direct comparison. If I was building a long action magnum 7 it would be a PRC. A standard would be a 280AI. [/QUOTE]
