[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2763125, member: 119220"] How many of those cartridges you listed have readily available components and ammo on the shelves? That why the 7PRC is here. When was the last time you saw factory 7RM ammo with 175-180 class bullets? Never. And it runs those 175-180 class bullets in the 2900’s. When was the last time you saw a gun manufacturer put out a 7RM with a 1:8T to run those heavier bullets? Hornady put out the 7PRC as an answer to the performance guys try to get in their 7RM but can’t with out barrel swaps etc, and even then, high 2900’s with 180 CL bullets is at the top end of the spectrum. The PRC is getting it with factory ammo. My 7RM with +P chamber needs to run 4 gns over book max with 4831 to get into the mid-2900’s with 180’s. I love my 7RM and will Probably stay with it on my next barrel but the 7PRC most definetly out runs it in performance and factory support for what guys are looking for today with the heavier high BC bullets. It’s has a place. [/QUOTE]
