7MM Rem Mag vs. 7 PRC

[Sneaky]

I love my 7PRC. It is hyper accurate, but I would offer that the speeds are not always what they "should" be. The ELD-X box says 3000 FPS (24in barrel). I was getting around 2650 out of my 20" barrel with suppressor. I didnt expect to lose 87.5 FPS per inch. I did read that there were issues with that ammo not making its advertised speed... In any case it still has plenty of authority at normal hunting ranges but I'm not sure there is a reason to jump ship from a 7mm rem mag if thats what you already have.

I have both...I like 7's. 

I have a Win Mod 70 with a 24" 1:8 Brux barrel and reload Barnes 140gr. TTSX's @ 3117 fps. 
With my 7 PRC 22" 1:8 Proof barrel I run 160gr CX's at 3103 fps. 
 
I built my 7 PRC and its suppressed and it weights 2.2 lbs., less than my Mod 70.  I prefer to carry that now over my Mod 70.

If you want to run the heavier monolithic bullets I would recommended the 7 PRC over the 7RM. I like both of them...Cannot go wrong with either.

I love my
7mm Rem. Mag Christianson Mesa. Lights out. A little too much for Antelope. Use my .243 next time

I own several 7 Mags (a couple I bought, one I inherited).  I love 7's
Thought about the new 7PRC, but I don't see enough difference between them to make much difference.
So (and I know I sound like a grizzled, grumpy old %$ when I say this)...
"When I run out of ammo (or forget it) in _____ Idaho, I can run down to the hardware store and pick up a box of 7 mag.  Can't do that with the new-fangled stuff..."

So I have a question because a co worker is contemplating the same thing. His current 7 rem mag uses either h1000 or reloader 22 with 175 partitions. What’s the Prc eat for preferred powder? Reloader 22 is rather scarce, h1000 we both have plenty of, but if the prc prefers powder that extremely hard to find then what’s the point?

My 7 RM likes H4831 over H1000.  My 7 PRC likes H1000 as H4831 is too slow and you run out of case capacity on the 7PRC.

I have a new jug of N560 that I will try soon.

RL26 if you can find it.  I wasn't impressed with H1000 with my 7prc.  I had better results with H4831sc with both group size and velocity.

my 7RM and PRC are on a H-1000 diet either 215Ms or CCI250s.

Get some n565 for either and enjoy
