Thread: 7mm mag to a 6.5prc?

@Tim I reckon you would struggle to get 2900fps with the 147 out of a 20” barrel, I’m getting 2852fps with Re26 (56gn) and 2217 was slower (2760@57gn) but a bit more accurate, as others have said the 6.5PRC slows up a lot when it’s chopped, I wouldn’t do a 20” one again as it’s not that far ahead of my 260? Mine doesn’t like Superformance for some reason either?

If I was doing it again I’d go 20” 7PRC suppressed, then you have the option of some good 150-162gn pills to get the speed back if that’s your jam.

It’s good to let your fingers doing the research. The main reason I don’t want a prc is hype. I’d prefer a xm or sa saum. The long actions don’t do it for me. Cheers
