[QUOTE="SWHandldr, post: 2688226, member: 114858"] Best summation I've seen for PRC cartidges. Will they do anything a 300 Win Mag, 6.5x55 or 7 Rem Mag won't? Realistically: Darn little. EXCEPT they are looking ahead rather than back. Twist rates & throat lengths. Yielding the ability to fire long bullets efficiently. TWO benefits - heavy-for-caliber and mono bullets. I'm halfway thru my 70's already. Ain't gonna live long enough to make much difference in my hunting (unless maybe I make it to 100 in perfect health). Odds of that: HA! But it will to whomever hunts in 2048 with my planned 7mm PRC. Lead bullets could be unobtanium by then but Hammer can already spin up & ship premium bullets in [I]days[/I] rather than months. Sorry, Berger, [I]et al. [/I] In 25 years handloaders may be CNCing their own affordably. Try telling anyone 25 years ago they could anneal cases at home as precisely as does an AMP. For $760 ($1400 today in 1997 dollars). 7 RM's will be around for decades not years. As will the other 'older' cartidges. But the world itself will be different. In some ways we cannot imagine today. But the idea that hunters will no longer trek wilderness after wild game is unimaginable. In fact, if our world continues changing along SOME of the lines we see now, it'll be [B]more[/B] crucial to real adults - and their families - than today. Survival of the fittest may depend on both unprocessesed protein and the hunters mindset (including abilities to pick off two-legged predators & their drone helpers). Conjecture. But while some of our offspring may be using 30-06's & their contemporaries, more will be shouldering arms optimized for the cartridges of furure: Long range, efficient powder burn, optimized bullets they can make themselves. Think about it: How old was the 30-06 when the 7RM came out in 1962? Six decades, [I]mas o menos. [/I]About the same span as '62 til now. Yeah, I'm gettin' / makin' a 7PRC - with one of Mr. Wheeler's problem-solvin' reamers. I'll use it as long as the Lord allows & [I]somebody[/I] (maybe my oldest grand daughter) will, I hope, be shooting it then. [/QUOTE]
