[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 1786106, member: 95013"] I am currently building a 7mm/300 PRC as we speak. Why? I believe the following to be true and will get a chance to pressure test my theory here in about 8-12 weeks :) [LIST] [*]I am luck to own many LR custom rifles so right off the bat, I am spoiled and admit it but hey MERICA! [*]I want a lighter weight backcountry hammer for N American game at longer ranges out west where I live. Yeah I have 300's that will do it all day but I believe the 7mm is hitting a sweet spot with efficient ballistics without having to push 225 grain bullets [*]I have a 13 lb 7mm/300 Norma Ackley that is awesome but a handful to shoot and will have <800 rounds of barrel life. Also very component critical - pushes the 195 eol at 3190 without a problem and could probably hit 3300. [*]Taking the current 300 PRC case and necking to a 7mm will be highly efficient - more efficient than 28 Nosler with equal ballistic results and i hope a bit more barrel life - should get 3100 without too much issue [*]Not changing anything but the neck size so all the attributes and chamber measurements from the PRC are utilized - may get a tiny bit more neck length [*]Not really a wildcat - i can use 300 PRC S series die set with a 314 or 316 bushing (ill know when I load my first round) 300 PRC brass - premium brass from peterson, copper creek or others should be out after SHOT show [*]Reloading data should be similar to the 300 PRC with 180/200 grain bullets - and using the 195 eol or even the 180 ELDX should be quick to find a load [/LIST] Building with a gunsmith that already has a 7mm 300 dakota and we both agreed that this set up will be better for many reasons listed and perhaps a few more. configuration will be directed to hunting and will include BAT HR LA action PROOF sendero 24" barrel - 8.44 twist AG composite Alpine Adj stock Timney calvin elite 2lb trigger Kahles K624i scope [/QUOTE]
