7mm PRC looked it up- now that does have some real bang - if one was going down the track of a longer range cartridge I presume one would have to reload for it ?- and how does it in the real world compare to say 300WSM which one may well be able to get factory for - or the tried and true 7mm Rem Mag ?? just interested

They do make factory ammo for them but anyone serious about longrange should reload anyway I reckon

I don't know about that one these days bro, quality factory ammo will be far more constant than most people's reloading skills will ever be, even if it's funning a little slower m.v.
( always some exceptions tho )

Didn't you win the long-range shoot with factory Hornady ammo? shit that was a poxy 6.5 too if i remember right

7prc is available off the shelf in 175eldx or 180eldm my 20" barrel Tikka pushes the 180grn at 2800fps.

PRC fits the Tikka mag better without loosing powder space as it's fatter and shorter than the rem mag.
