[QUOTE="JohnCZ, post: 2922030, member: 69069"] This was interesting to see everyones different take on what is a relatively simple question for those who may have done it. Firstly the recoil of a 300Wby is just fine without a brake, I have shot enough 338Win, 375H&H, 458Win & 460Wby to be able to manage recoil, however for load development I did buy a brake for shooting off a bench, beating yourself up at the range is plain stupid. Considering it is only slightly more than my 300Win, I certainly wouldn't call it HARD recoiling, fast yes, hard no. There is little info about the 7PRC here in Australia currently and that was my question, simply feeding off the internal box mag of the Weatherby. Now since using Hornady brass in the 300Wby and having primer pockets stretch after one firing at sub-max loads (1.5gr under max) I certainly will not be getting into 7PRC unless a company other than Hornady makes good brass available here in Oz. The Hornady brass in 300Wby is soft in the head/primer pockets, absolute rubbish. Cheers John [/QUOTE]
