Hornady announced the 7mm A-tip, does that mean the 7PRC will be at SHOT?

[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 1826882, member: 5437"] I really don't think the 7 PRC, if it comes to being,🤞 will be in a short action. The 6.5 PRC barely works in a short action with a binderless magazine or extended box. Like Rich said, more of a medium length cartridge, his cartridges are better true short magnums. I suspect it will be about 3/4 of a 300 PRC or what's the point? Something of a similar capacity to 7 Blaser improved, 7mm Practical, 7mm Mashburn, etc. Basically a 7mm LRM with Hornady's blessing/backing/marketing. Both of the PRC cartridges are here to stay. Both have commercial support for Dies, Brass (Hornady and now aftermarket) & 300 has military use which increases volume out there. Both are efficient modern designed cases. Like it or not, Hornady's support gives legitimacy and affordability to the round. No belt, no rebated rim, standard mag bolt face, short fat (ish), 30 Degree shoulder, decent neck, it's a solid design and would be awesome if applied to the 7mm. BTW, if you want the 6.5 or the 300 PRC necked to 7mm, just do that. I'm sure that Redding and others will have bushing neck dies out soon and just throw in the appropriate bushing after that. I don't see Hornady doing what it did with the 6MM Creedmoor to either case, just doesn't fill the niche that is needed. 6.5 would be too close to the 7SUAM and the 300 too close to the 28 Nosler and neither fits that design niche. BTW, if I ever did a 300 PRC I think I'd have to go with Rich's version. That just looks like it will really work. [/QUOTE]
