7 PRC new factory offerings

[Countrykang8]

Hi guys! I am a novice reloader with about 8 years of experience. It's great to see more companies jumping on the 7 PRC train. Remington is set to release a 175 grain bonded bullet and Federal announced a 170 grain Terminal Ascent.

I am hoping Norma releases a Bondstrike in the future. What are your thoughts?

The cartridge has been out a year during a time when components are not falling off the shelf at Sportsman's Warehouse, so it has been a rough market. But, last I checked, the SW shelves of 7 PRC had roughly 2/3 the options of what 7 mm RM was available. There are now over a dozen rifle companies offering the 7 PRC. I feel that this will only increase over the coming decade. Like the 6.5 Creedmoor, I think it's here to stay.

I will have the 7mm PRC terminal ascent ammo in hand on Wednesday. I plan to shoot it this weekend and see how it does out of my rifle. I reload mostly but it would be nice to have a few boxes of factory ammo as a back up plan that would shoot good in the event I wasn't able to reload.

Back at sportsman's on the hunt, more 7prc offerings and I took photos of the back

Seems very expensive compared to Hornady 180 gr. ELD-M's @ $50 bucks or so a box... No visible benefit @ long range + 550 yards. What am I missing?

Different logo, maybe better quality control and brass?
