If I had to justify my shooting or hunting expenses to my wife....I'd explain to her fishing first....namely...HOW THE CATCH AND RELEASE PROGRAM WORKS! Welcome from Alberta.We've all stepped in the same trap so why would we warn you? We'd rather you join in. Welcome to the world of justification to your wife, maybe you can convince her that although you have arguably the most versatile and succesful cartridge in exsistence (30/06), elk and deer would laugh at you and you'd never get invited to hunting camp without a PRC/WSM. My recommendations would be to decide what your intended quarry is and at what range you feel is reasonable to you. A 7PRC wouldn't be a bad way to go as at some point brass will be available and by the looks of it will be a great all-around cartridge. Start scanning for suitable powders and primers (tough part) and stock up when possible, the firearms/reloading equipment will be more available than the components. Get a quality reloading manual and read up. Welcome to LRH.
Don't stress, just go with the one you need for long range shooting or hunting. What is it for, I have a Bergara, 6.5 PRC, shoots lights out, at 200yds, is shoots .500 to .750 " groups,, and will kill any north American animal we have , the B-14 has very little reccoil and is flawless, and I have many weapons from 308., 7x08mm, and many others, I've never been happier with the Bergara, and what it delivers , My partner and friend both have the 6.5 Creedmoor as I also do, and they all shoot .500 at 100 factory ammo. Hornady, 143 ELD-X I do reload and find everything I need easy. maybe not power and primers but not like years ago.First off I'd like to say thank you for having me, so far I've enjoyed the content. But I can't continue without bringing up the elephant in the room though. You all knew this was a trap and no one said anything. Now I obsess every minute of everyday. Now I'm looking to sell a few guns I don't use anymore, my chainsaw and more so I can afford to purchase a better rifle for long range hunting. I currently have a x bolt 30 06 and a cheapo savage axis 6.5cm. Looking at the internet for 7prc every few minutes. Should I go with 6.8 western? 300wm? PRC? 7RM? WSM? 28 Nosler? Who'd have thought it would be so stressful.
