[QUOTE="Ozihunter, post: 3028538, member: 14972"] I am interested in a 7mm PRC as a replacement for my old girl 7mm Rem Mag. I was looking for all the information about that caliber (pros and cons) before deciding to buy a rifle. However, I came across information on the Hornady website that their 175 gr ELD-X factory ammunition achieves a velocity of 3000fps in 24" barrel. I have a 7mm RM, 26" barrel, and a CED M2 and have years of experience making ammo for my big seven using 130gn to 175gn grains. I could not achieve a velocity of 3000 fps with 175 gn no matter what I tried with all the powders that were advised for 7mm. My question is whether the speed mentioned by Hornady is realistic or is it a bait for potential buyers. Thank you [/QUOTE]
