Default 7mm PRC

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

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.

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

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 😭😭

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 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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
