7PRC loads & velocities

[Korhil78]

Oh I will. I have to get brass first haha. I have it on backorder with two companies. I have retumbo and RL23 to try with the heaviver bullets and some Staball 6.5 to try with the 160's.

 

[Phil Rizzo]

23 may not be bad with a 160.?

 

[Korhil78]

Maybe. We will see. I know it works really well with the hammer hunter 169 Gr in a 7 max

One of my gunsmith contacts has been getting some really impressive results with the 7 prc. On a 24" barrel with N570/195 EOL's seeing 2930-2940's. On 20" barrel builds with N560/180 VLDH seeing 2850's. That's all on a new broken in barrel with fresh load development. With the right combination of components they're encroaching 28 Nosler speeds with 195's and as good or a little better speeds than a 7 saum still on the short barrel builds. The 7 prc is a very efficient cartridge. Love my 7 saum still, however one of the new 7's may get added to the collection when there's more brass options available.

7mm prc with 20" Benchmark. I'm getting 2877 f/ps

175gr. factory was showing ejector marks. Very hot load. Probably early release ammo I'm told

I wrote down a couple loads on the Hammer reloading thread about the
136 Shock Hammer and 143 Hammer Hunter. I have been using N-560 .
Flip to the last 2 pages.

R26 giving 3040fps average with 175 EH .045 jump
Best group so far .3 minute at 300.

[todd458]

I was getting an average of 2890 out of a 22" bbl with the eldx

Is that with the 175 grain?

 

[todd458]

Good info on the N560. May give that a try.

N560 65.0 gr 2804 heavy ejector

Staball HD 69.0 gr 2780 heavy ejector

N565 68.0 gr 2885 heavy ejector

I've been warned about 560 and temp stability. What have you seen?
I have not conducted a test though.
