[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2928307, member: 29765"] Nobody is saying that (besides maybe the OP here). Hornady says it a modernized 7mm magnum. Fast twist, no belt, fits in a 3.4” magazine and 2900-2950 fps with 180s out of a shorter barrel. The STW is hamstrung by the twist rate and overly long case. A better comparison to the STW would be a 28 Nosler or 7mm RUM, I think those three are in a different class. The only comparison that should be made to a 7mm PRC is the 7mm Rem Mag, but that is often compared to a 7mm WSM and SAUM. All three of those, with factory chamberings and SAAMI specs lack the 1:8 twist (so do the bigger 7mm magnums). No, the 7mm PRC isn’t the fastest, or best 7mm magnum ever made, Hornady has never claimed that, they just modernized it. So to answer the question - what can a 7mm PRC do that other 7mm magnums can’t? Shoot 180gr VLD bullets with a SAAMI spec barrel and chamber. [/QUOTE]
