7mm PRC Wildcat Build

That makes sense, I genuinely didn't know. Is it longer from head to shoulder, or neck length? Thank you.

A little bit of both

Who made your reamer and did you chamber yourself?
Thanks
Len

I worked with JGS to make the reamer to my spec - Yes

Jasmine is so nice to work with and Nathan really knows how to work with you to build a reamer that fits your requirements. GREAT people at JGS. Will have all my reamers made by them.
Thanks

Yeah I did a custom reamer as well with custom freebore to match the bullet - turned out great with pressure signs only showing up with case being about 95% full or more

May we know who did your reamer? Does the print have a name and is the print proprietary? TIA.

JGS did the reamer...everything is SAAMI except the neck - 225 freebore

I understand you want availability of brass. I have never not been able to get brass from sherman. When I built my last rifle I started by looking for components. Sherman had brass and I have purchased brass 4 more times. That being said I like the cartridge you designed and hopefully components come back.

Very nice! How do you like that stock?

I like it a lot - well made and almost always shoot Adj Stocks

Since I had a couple thousand 300 Win mag cases laying around, I kept it simple and built a 7mm Mashburn Super. Same velocities but always a ready supply of brass.

Wouldn't that already exist in the 7mm WSM??

The WSM will outrun the 7 PRC, hands down, I dont know about the 7 on the 300 prc.Just needs a fast twist like the prc

They're within 1.5 gr powder capacity of each other. At equal pressure there will be 30fps between them. They're pretty much the same cartridge. Cept one has Peterson, ADG, Lapua brass options. The other? Well, not so much.

Beautiful rifle, and an excellent package as you have assembled it. Impressive Muzzle Velocities for sure!! I do not know the down range ballistics, but I would guess you have a true 1000 yard Elk and Sheep rifle. When you book your Mongolian Sheep hunt please send us pictures!!!!!

I bet same freebore would work great with 180 berger

I'd argue that the top end is full already with little room for performance improvement.

Personally, I'd love (and will someday have) a 28 Nosler. However, it's waaaay more horsepower than I need or want for most of my hunting, and it torches barrels so I wouldn't even shoot it all that much.

Something like a 7mm PRC would be easier recoil, easier on powder and barrels, just more fun to use more often.

Just my thoughts

Agreed
