7mm PRC: A Deep Dive into the Newest Precision Rifle Cartridge

from Backcountry Hunting Podcast · host Joseph von Benedikt

Is the new 7mm PRC necessary? If so, why? Does it accomplish much that current 7mm's can't?  The answer is yes, profoundly. However, the devil is in the details. The 7mm PRC offers a series of small advantages that add up to a massive overall superiority. In short, it's potentially the best 7mm magnum cartridge ever designed.  This episode starts from a skeptical standpoint and explores the 7mm PRC's characteristics, and in the end outlines just why it's so profoundly good.  Characteristics:  Balanced performance (easy accuracy) Fast-twist rifling (compatible with modern long-range bullets) Best in class ballistic performance at extreme range Optimal case design for maximum consistency Better barrel life than competitors Chamber and throat dimensions modeled after 6.5 Creedmoor for top-shelf accuracy with factory ammo Easy to reload Tons of rifle companies already on board The result is a turn-key solution for shooters that want best-possible extreme-range capability without having a custom, fast-twist rifle built with extended magazine box and tuned handloads.  Potentially, the 7mm PRC is THE 7mm cartridge of the future. This episode details why.  ENJOY!   FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!  Join the Backcountry Hunting Podcast tribe and get access to all our bonus material on www.patreon.com/backcountry VISIT OUR SPONSORS HERE:  https://www.portersfirearms.com/ www.timneytriggers.com www.onxmaps.com www.silencercentral.com www.siembidacustomknives.com https://javelinbipod.com www.browning.com www.barnesbullets.com www.leupold.com
