[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2768937, member: 67552"] I don't think it's 7PRC 'deniers' but rather 'whyers'? The point I think is, if I already have 7mag brass, or can source 4 decent brands today with a click of the mouse, what is the big advantage of the PRC that I can't find brass for (let alone good brass) for a re-barrel I can choose my twist with? I listened to the GW podcast and they kind of lost me right away with the comment that anyone in their right mind is wishing they had a shorter barrel while out hunting the brush. Those are the kind of statements that slowly sink into folks and they don't realize it. Then a couple days later talking to their shooting buddies or typing on a forum they state with certainty that you're out of you mind if you're carrying a rifle with longer than a 22" barrel. The same goes for statements about belted cases, temp stable powder, whatever. There are alot of folks that carry long barreled rifles that don't notice or care. When you boil it down, shooting mechanics, bullet choice, and honest load development from a serviceable platform is 95% of the killing equation. The case, within reason really doesn't matter. 7WSM, 7RM, 7PRC, 7SAUM, 7STW, and so on will achieve the same results with like bullets, and like barrel lengths to within a couple hundred yards of each other. Shoot what you want, it will work, honest. [/QUOTE]
