[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 1602279, member: 95013"] I am currently considering a 7-300 PRC by simply just necking down the 300 to a 7mm. Why? I currently have a 7/338 NM and run the 195 bergers at 3190 fps with 86.8 grains Retumbo. I could probably go a bit faster but to have any kind of barrel life at all, I am keeping it sub 1/2 MOA right at this speed. I run a PROOF 26 inch 8 twist barrel on a defiance action. Its going to burn the barrel in under 1000 rounds I believe. (pic below) I did the paint and finish work on the rifle I can get better 7mm BC than the 30 cal bullets from Hornady (the 175 ELDX versus the 212) with hunting caliber velocity of >3000 fps with better barrel life by building the 7-300 PRC. I am going to run one. [/QUOTE]
