7PRC barrel length

My 22" barrel after 90 rounds with 175 factory ammo.
This is for the last 11 shots
2872 avg
ES 60
SD 20
 
If you're gonna run a supressor "rarely" I'd go 24". I like a 24" braked barrel on a magnum hunting rifle. Thats how I have my 7RM set up. If not a magnum, 20-22 is a good length for a hunting rifle for me.

Fired 10 more factory 175X's

It's been pretty bad so far for ES, SD and velocity.
Accuracy has been about 1MOA for
10 rounds.

Remind me who's your barrel maker? That es and sd is pretty rough. But it is factory ammo so there's that.
 
I'm escorting back and forth right now. Once we burn up this factory ammo, I'm not sure what I will run. The 175 Berger, the 168, or the 180 hybrid. I may if I get really wild attempt to load the 180 eldm. I'm just not a huge Hornady fan so I don't run many of there bullets.
 
Boy I just reread my you'd think I'm drunk! I'm not even sure how my phone got escorting, and then later I used there instead of their! Dang I need to proof read!
 
Went to the range today. 35 rounds of factory 175. Fps started at 2860 and by the end of the day we were up to 2970. This was shots 5,6,7 on a brand new barrel. It is a shooter. This is the wife's rifle in a temp stock until her clymer gets delivered.
