I’ve got a 176449 unopened if interested. It’s the illuminated PR1-MOA. PM me if interested.

Bolt action 25WSM back then… Bolt action 25PRC now or 25CM. Maybe they’ll come soon.

So you’re comparing a 162 vs a 175 in Hornady?

What is realistic performance expectations on the 25CM?

Info from Defiance product page Complete action consists of Titanium receiver, one-piece 4340 CM bolt, handle/knob, firing pin assembly with aluminum shroud, and side bolt release. Receiver made with aerospace-grade Ti-6AL-4V Titanium with integral recoil lug and scope rail. 4340 chrome-moly...

I suspect the amount of material removed is minimal from the action itself along with whatever the length difference is for the bolt. Maybe I'm wrong. Just my guesses though. Just not sure how a titanium action with a CM bolt will lose more weight from length shortening than a solid steel action...

It will surprise me if the short is 1oz lighter. I’d guess more in the 0.7oz range and 0.2-0.3oz range for the medium.

Factory ammo is factory ammo. The only two comparable loads show the PRC is loaded as outperforming the Rem Mag. In fear of context being lost, my post that you replied to was in reply to someone claiming that the Rem Mag beats the PRC all the way around especially with factory ammo. The 7 Rem...

Any assumption you make on one, you should make on the other or is that not how this works? It's all factory produced ammo. I’d guess that most likely COAL is the same 3.340” since most mass producers stick to SAAMI specs or is that a silly assumption?

How does one beat the other with factory ammo? Honest question. Factory Ammo for 7 Rem Mag isn't shooting the same bullets (same weight and design) as 7 PRC other than one option. Please inform if there are others you're aware of. Federal Premium 155 Terminal Ascent 7 Rem Mag per box 3000 FPS...

Not sure what “Back shot” is. Care to share a link to a video of that individual shooting a 7PRC with a 24” barrel that’s dropping 300-400fps with factory Hornady 175 ELDX ammo? I’d like to watch it.

My brother has a Ridgeline in 7 rem mag that shoots 162 ELD X. I know they’re out there and the ones that do it are well worth their price. I’m also aware that different barrels produce different velocities but he was originally claiming 300+ fps drop below box stamped velocity. That’s just...

Can you share what changed with the stocks and what the expected weight range is with the updated design? Sounds like it should be down in the 24-26oz range instead of the 32-34oz range unless I misinterpreted your one year ago change comment.

Any idea when weights will be known for short and medium lengths?

Have to read a few pages into that thread to find out all of the information if you’re interested. https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/new-action-pierce-engineering-skele-ti.293436/
