7mm PRC
 
How come no one here is talking about the 7mm PRC or did I miss the train?

waldedw 02-23-2023 08:22 PM

Not much to talk about yet, no ammo, no brass, other than that I have the dies, the bullets, the powder, the primers and the gun will be here in 3 weeks, I hope to shoot it before this fall.

REMINGTON JIM 02-24-2023 11:32 AM

Yea no brass YET ! Should be soon - There has being some Horn ammo . My brother has being shooting his custom built 7 PRC with the fact ammo and then reloading it Much better FPS from his Handloads over the factory stuff. RJ

waldedw 02-24-2023 12:02 PM

I have not been able to find any factory ammo anywhere in Canada yet ??? mind you I have only been looking for about a month :thinking-006:

There was 10 boxes of Hornady Hunter for sale on CGN today and my bro bought it ALL . :) RJ

Scored a couple boxes of 7mm PRC hornady match 180gr yesterday, at least I have something to shoot then reload :)

NINJABABY 03-02-2023 12:33 PM

There are tons of 7mm PRC rifles for sale and you get only 2 boxes of ammo with a $4000 gun:angry3::angry3:

waldedw 03-02-2023 01:24 PM

2 boxes beats the poop out of none, at least you would have something to shoot and reload IMHO.

Just need to try and find some load data with US869, it should be a good powder for the heavier bullets

Yea it looks like it will be a good one, I have H1000, Retumbo, H4831, RL25 and US869 so one of those will shoot I think, RL26 fairy dust looks like a good one also but I think it only exists in people minds :thinking-006:

I bought few boxes from gunpost for 120 a box thinking that it’s a good deal

Now reading that it is 73 a box makes me feel so dumb😱

Please make me feel better 😭😭

I called there last week, the recording said to leave your name and number and they would call back........... never happened so not sure if they have some or not

NINJABABY 03-20-2023 03:15 PM

Nobody can answer that for you, depends how bad you want some to start shooting, you saw someone got some for $73 so

NINJABABY 03-21-2023 06:16 PM

The fellow is selling more 180 gr hornady bullets for 120 a box.

He is at gunpost. He offered me to buy more but I don’t have a gun yet and I have 4 boxes 🤣🤣🤣🤣

wallz 03-22-2023 03:02 PM

Reliable has 180 g match for 80 per box. You could always just get a set of dies and reload for it with the 4 boxes you have.

waldedw 03-31-2023 02:53 PM

Just picked up 2 boxes 7mm PRC Hornady 180gr match at Neerlandia Co-op for $79 plus tax, he would only sell me 2 boxes as he said he only has enough now for guy's that buy guns from him, at least until he gets more in, which is totally understandable. But it's 2 more boxes :)

Ya Brent is Awsum to deal with

Yes it kind of makes all the other gun stores look pretty sick.

spentround 04-04-2023 02:02 PM

Red Deer Sportsmans Den today (Apri 4) .9 Hornady Hunter Black boxes and 6 Hornady Match 180 gr...approx $80 a box.

MountainTi 06-16-2023 09:16 PM
