[QUOTE="CarbonLR, post: 2689531, member: 96629"] So for fun, Let's see a raise of hands to all who currently own, have shot and loaded for the 7PRC that are quoting data, powder and bullet weight and performance. As James has stated it is almost a direct comparison to a 7wsm (which has no brass support) compared to a cartridge that will have tons of support. A saum will not touch it with same barrel length unless you a willing to use powder that is extremely unstable, high heat that erodes throats quickly. The 7PRC has loading potential way beyond any data posted even with a 24" tube, adding 26 makes it even better. Looking at charts and H2o capacity proves essentially nada. Can the Saum, WSM and PRC run 190-195 class bullets? Yes but its a case more balanced in performance to run 175-180 class bullets and provide much life. Quoting James Ealgman.... Train like you fight and fight like you train Carbon LR..... Train like you are going into battle with a tooth pick and hope someone shows up with an Abrams tank at the last moment Saying that if this case does not fall within your velocity limits for what it was designed for get a bigger case, 45 years of accomplished loading and shooting makes me wonder why people try to make 7rm, SAUM, WSM and make it perform like a 28N or 7RUM. Pick a case and run it within its performance limits to provide you safe long shooting experience and be happy unless you have a bottomless pit of wealth. Respectfully [/QUOTE]
