[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 4001715, member: 33119"] I don’t know if the 7PRC is worth it or not, I’m sure you can push a 180 grain to and above 3,000fps but with the lack of support in brass currently I don’t think it’s worth it. I don’t think it’s even an ideal platform for the heavy 190 class bullets either. I also question whether it’s doing anything the 7wsm and 7saum have been doing for years. As far a 7mm Rem Mag, current production rifles enjoy the same achilles heel their predecessors do. Usually long throats, short mag box, and slow twist (1 in 9). I was never able to get a 180vld to shoot good out of my 7RM. As I see it, the only advantages to the 7PRC when compared to the 300PRC are: slightly less powder usage, ability to shoot lighter bullets, and slightly less recoil. If you could get the necessary speed to take full advantage of the 190 class bullets BC and these bullets performed great on game at distance, this for me might be a reason to look into a 7 PRC.
