[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2610355, member: 313"] I've had many rifles built over the years. If there is one thing that I've learned, it is that you don't chamber a rifle for ANYTHING unless you have a few hundred pieces of high-quality brass (minimum) on hand. My 7WSM was the very last build that I made before seeing the light. I always thought that Lapua, Peterson, Norma, ADG, or someone would corner the market by making high quality brass in 7WSM. I was wrong. The idea that the 7PRC will be used primarily by non-reloaders doesn't sound realistic to me. It's all of us gun nuts that usually sit on the edge of the seat waiting for the next generation of wonder cartridges to be revealed. I probably shoot more ammo in any given week than the average whitetail hunter does in a year or two. High-quality brass is in high demand among serious shooters. Cost doesn't even seem to be an issue because shooters are on long waiting lists and willing to pay anything to get the quality that they need. And .. brass is expendable so you always need more. I'm interested in the 7PRC but don't see what it really has to offer. Hopefully, someone other than Hornady makes brass for it and the cartridge will develop a following. That didn't happen with the 7WSM, despite the fact that is a rather efficient cartridge, capable of fine accuracy and fits in a short action which has been so desirable by so many hunters. I'd suspect that most ultra-light rifle are built on short actions. [/QUOTE]
