Thread: Is the new 7mm PRC a lemon ?

Yeah a bloody good caliber I might need to get another one

So three secs maybe to file a notch. Wish I could reload an empty cartridge and fire it in less time than that. Must have missed that part of the training manual.

I got the Nz hunter mag just for this article but was disappointed to see it was basically RL26 loads. Hopefully the next bush pig articles cater to us peasants.

Shooting 162-168s at 2850 with and ADI powder would convince me to go this route if I can get away with a stumpy barrel but I kinda want confirmation that this can be pushed down as far as 18”.

Pretty easy to get those speeds with 2217 and 2225 with 175eldx

Will be a follow up to the shortening article in the October/November magazine.

Not much point publishing anything using RL powder until they start making it again at whatever unknown point in the future

@Kiwi Greg next time I’m up in Nelson I must come and see “The Guy”

It will only be a matter of time till we see more factory rifles and once that happens it wont be a lemon it will be the new lemonade and everyone will want a sip

I see Tikka are chambering their “Ace” chassis rifle in it (Euro optic site ) and it appears on the Beretta NZ configurator for sako 90 Peak.
Lapua have announced they will offer brass in “fall” ie 6+ months away.
There are a few new 7mm about but two manufacturers are betting this will be the one going forward.
