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

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.
