Thread: 7prc

And Sako. 90 Finnlight $3799

sorry, 22", but i had about .8gr more and starting to get a slightly heavy bolt lift, so kept it back.

book load doesnt mean real world in the rifle its being fired from.... my primers are fine, no ejector swipe, no heavy bolt lift.

You can disagree all you like but a heavier bullet with a larger sectional density will have better performance on game if thats what you are aiming for. If you just want a 7prc because thats what you want thats cool too

I'm not having a crack at ya, velocity is a far more accurate indicator of pressure....hey its probably not gonna blow up in your face but it will eat the throat of you're barrel faster and decrease the life of you brass.
End of the day your rifle and your load, I'm not suggesting it's unsafe, but 100% you are over book max pressure.

i get that, all my rifles are on the hot side. But when they burn out, ill just rebarrel again thats why i spend the money on custom rifles... so when somthing does eventually happen , buyin a 2K barrel is nothing to make the manners, defiance, triggertech, hawkins combo new again

Book charges may not be accurate but pressure vs velocity is as in it takes so much pressure with a combination to get a velocity brass and bolt lift are terrible indicators I can blow primers before I see those other signs in my 708

So does a .50 cal... more energy right?
Who wants to carry it and deal with more recoil ,powder burn etc...?

how does it shoot?

If the nut behind the bolt does his bit correctly it’s shooting sub moa.
