It's simply an observation, or are you disagreeing that the medium/XM action options are limited? If you are, then I am quite surprised. Two different standards and very few (MDT XM is the only one I know of out there, and soon the LP medium from Hawkins) magazines exist. BDL is about the only option out there right now.Eh, each to their own. That's why America is awesome…..you do you and there's no one that can tell you what you what to do.
Definitely, it's just cut off at the knees. It's a nice cartridge in a medium action, which I really do think is the sweet spot for these cartridges; the options are just limited right now. I think medium length cartridges are great, I just think the two different standards in medium action sizes make it a mess. Maybe the 7PRC will drive more options to the market.
Ya im not sure. I do see most custom actions out of stock. I'm assuming it'll be based around the 180s 7mms? Similar to the 6.5 prc was based around the 140s.
But is it? Look at the currently available 7mms in the 85-90is grain of powder area. 7mm blaser(not mainstream) 7mm rem mag(belted, short neck, saami spec throat blows), 7mm wby(belted, dbl radius shoulder, poor brass selection) then its 28N(short throat and shorter barrel life). I personally feel there is a place for a 87-90gr capacity case that has a caliber long neck and modern case/throat geometry.
Every time Hornady or anyone else pays to have a cartridge SAAMI certified, these "XYZ wildcat was stolen…" comments start.
Wildcats are just that......unclaimed non standardized ideas. I mean who's wildcatting a 7mm that's in the 85-90gr area? A 7mm Sherman mega? Who cares about that, there may be 500 rifles chambered in it, ever. Bring a modern day 7mm magnum to the general masses. And make it a long action, cuz the saum already has the short action covered.
Indeed. Having the support of factory guns and ammo makes a huge difference. That's what killed de 260 rem. No ammo and no guns
Well the problem with saami and Sherman cases......there will be real laboratory performed pressure testing.
No sir, it's a choice some have to figure out when building a rifle. Some take the easy road and some take a different route that has limitations. Each to their own.
Also a limited amount of of both and a limited amount places to get components.
Yes, this also. Real data for the masses and not just this and that guy. Not knocking Mr. Sherman but if someone has a inkling of interest in his cartridges there's only one source and that's probably over the phone and not by yourself in a book where you don't have someone trying to sell you on anything.
but not more than the 6.5 Creed, or the heavens will fall and chicken little will have no where to run, but I got a grouse tag. 
sounds great. where is the source?? nothing showing on SAAMI website… or is this insider/preliminary information?
i like that!Eh
Once again you are assuming that they will use the 300 PRC case and not the 6.5 case. How about we see what Steve thinks is more profitable. Do be fooled. This is a money grab for the PRC name! I look at your list of iconic 7mm cartridges that you are running down, and can only think that maybe you should show the world what a proper 7mm cartridge should look like. Best of luck with your invention.
