6.5-7mm prc

[Txcowboy50]

Why not just a 7 saum. Except hard to get brass. It is hard to be lieve there is significant difference between a 7 saum and a 7-6.5 PRC. I have 6.5 PRC and love it. Oops. 6.5-7prc. Now that would be hot. 6.5-300 wby. Real hot

6.5/300 Weatherby when you feel the need for SPEED!

Brass is hard to get for the 7 SAUM. However, 6.5 PRC brass is plentiful and available from Hornady, Lapua, ADG, and Peterson. It's a simple neck up using the appropriate mandrel and sizing is as simple as swapping to a bigger bushing in a 6.5 PRC FL bushing die.

If that's between 25-06 and 257Wby we are looking at more or less a 25-06AI right.

The 25 Sherman LA is in that mix. More than AI less than Wby.

The saum is too big in my opinion. Yes it does some winning but its been around a long time and never took over the 284. The prc is. Small things matter in competition that you wont see in a hunting rifle.

Do'es anyone have any results/info to share? Reamer, freebore, improved or just necked down, bullet speed, weight; velocity, what powders are working for you, barrel length and over all impression. The 6.5 7prc will most likely be my last custom build. I am temporarily side tracked with the 22 creed, but will resume the 6.5 7prc when lapua or alpha brass becomes available. Thanks for any input/info.

This is the guy to talk to.
He built me a very nice 6.5/7 prc. I'm just starting load development with it.

Don't hold your breath for Lapua or Alpha to produce 7PRC brass any time soon; at least not in 2024.

The ADG AND PETERSON WORKS.
I got over 3300fps with 156 and N-560 today.
Did have ejector marks.

Powder? barrel length? Twist rate? thanks

 

[stazmania]

oh yeah. Just neck down or improved?

 

[Phil Rizzo]

a 40* version would make me partake

The reamer I'm using is a standard shoulder and simple necked down. I have been using 1-8 26" barrels getting great accuracy and velocity
