[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1696687, member: 69478"] I 100% agree with this. I said the same thing when the .300 PRC came out and when the 6.5 Creedmoor came out. Hornady is not reinventing the wheel on purpose, they are simply looking at all of the good and bad in a certain field of cartridges and making one that fits the bill, does what the others do, but with huge factory support and great SAAMI spec ammo, chambers, and reamer designs. The 7mm-300 PRC would fit right between the 7mm Rem Mag and 28 Nosler, similar to the 7mm-300 Win Mag. What it will do though is have a modern case that fits and feeds in modern long actions with modern bullets, has factory ammo and brass, factory rifles, and an awesome SAAMI spec reamer design from the get go. The problem with a lot of cartridges is they were never intended to be loaded with heavy for caliber bullets in a 3.7” Mag box. If the 7mm-300 PRC, like the .300 PRC and 6.5 Creedmoor, is designed around modern bullets and rifles, it will not need any special reamers with longer throats or the need for an extended Mag box to utilize the best available modern bullets. Life is so much simpler when you can just buy off the shelf components, dies, reamers, ammo, and even rifles without any hassle or anything special. [/QUOTE]
