I agree! The 270 Win. is the obvious choice, followed by the 7mm RemMag!

7mm PRC
Made ya look! Has anyone made a reamer for this yet? Hornady hasn't published anything yet so I was wondering how many people have succumbed to their wildcatting will and ordered one up...
I was mistaken, this the the thread I had read earlier about a 7MM PRC.
It is only a thought, and not a SAMMI approved product.
I am certain I had read more details about this cartridge, but searches produce no such information.
I am sorry for the confusion.

It remains unconfirmed. There's been no notice posted or announcements by either SAAMI or Hornady about the 7PRC.
A 7mm-300PRC would be a really great introduction to the market but if they just go off of the 6.5PRC case it's not really going to add anything new.
No problem, the idea of a 7mm prc sound good, Im fan of 7mm round as I Come to know more about long range shooting7mm PRC

If the shoulder is an issue... 6.5 Grendel..... drop the mic.
It will kill a deer out to 400 yards and very, very little recoil.

If i didn't already own a 7mm rem mag, and was looking into the new caliber hype, id buy a 6.5 prc.
270is a good hunting cartridge but unlike most cartridges in that category was not developed with target shooting in mind and has never won a major national competition. It is the most overrated and lied about cartridge there is. Funny how many guys outshoot national records for fun in their back yard.
Well.... I own a 6.5 PRC and I DID buy a 7m Mag.
Why the heck did I drop the Franklins on a 7 Mag when I own a PRC?
Cause 6.5 PRC ammo can't be found... and worse.... no brass. What ever company developed this load and can't deliver should be horse-whipped. Turds...
I can buy factory 7 Mag ammo all day long and as much brass as I want and bullets all day long.
So I dropped a grand on an economy bench gun and glass to shoot 180g ELD's....at 2k.
Anyone want to buy a PRC?

Our local supplier sold 3000 Lapua 6.5 PRC cases in 2.5 days all locally and none of it was listed on the internet.
Already sold mine. I don't shoot 1000 yds enough to need a 6.5 PRC. I'm a hunter primarily and target shooter second. I have a ton of overlap with my 25-06, 260 Rem, 270 win, 270 wsm, 280 AI, 7mag, 308, 30-06 and 300 win and Weatherby mag. So, the 6.5 PRC went bye bye. Got me a week long hunting trip with my kids so I was happy with the trade. And I don't miss it one bit.
