    7 PRC factory loads

    I've been out shooting my new 7 prc today and whilst it shoots well the factory ammunition I'm using leaves a bit to be desired in the speed department. It still holds plenty of speed and energy out to silly distances but the whole point of these big cartridges should be too flatten that rainbow I reckon. Currently just been shooting the Hornady Precision Hunter 175 eldx and getting average 2736fps over 18 shots, Garmin Chrono, 22" barrel and running a brake, I dont doubt that the rifle will probably speed up a bit after its had a few more down the tube but surely theres something out there that can push a heavy along a bit swifter than that? Really can't be bothered reloading..
