7mm PRC problem?

[Timnterra]

I don't know where else to find the answer to this question so here goes.

I want to know, did Hornady fix the clicker problem that the 6.5 and the 300 PRC have with the 7mm PRC? I see that some people must have 7mm PRC ADG brass now because when I got the emails of it being in stock and clicked on the links it was already sold out. Have any of you lucky guys that got some ADG brass shot it enough to see if the problem persists? If not, would one of you selfless souls be willing, in the name of ballistic science and for all of us waiting for Alex Wheeler to release a new print, be willing to ruin a single piece of good brass by continually reloading it until it starts to stick?

I believe it is the 200 datum line that needs to be increased. It doesn't appear they changed that.

These are my two cartridges that will be built by AW shortly. Look at the 200 datum line and you can see it is larger

I've got a new 7PRC custom rifle that was cut with a 7PRC-AW reamer. Peterson brass has been fired twice without issue. I don't expect to get "clickers" at any point, but we'll see.

Thanks for the cartridge diagrams. Looks like Hornady is sticking with their design and making It so that you can only use their brass...

Their brass, but moreover their dies. This , IMHO, is why some dont have clicker issues.

Are you saying people using Hornady dies don't have clicker issues with ADG and Lapua brass? That's something I had not heard

 

[Justice1327]

No…their brass AND using their dies.

Jgs has a 7 mm Prc AW reamer designed by Alex that is available to anyone

What dies are being recommended for the AW reamer?

 

[olrvrat]

I'm using hornady . I.ve used hornady and adg brass and haven't had any clickers . Even with hornadys hot factoty loads blew primers but still could open bolt.
