7mm PRC

That's not the 7 PRC, it would be 7-300 PRC or 7-6.5 PRC.

They do a 7 sprc as well that's based of off the 6.5 prc.

Ok, so these were McWorter's own wildcats?

The rumor we're discussing is that SAAMI has approved a new 7PRC for Hornady and we're trying to figure out what it will look like.

I like what McWorter is doing with theirs.

Well the 7PRC will be whatever Hornady Draws up and SAAMI approves and odds are it won't be too different from the McWorter version if it's built off of the 300PRC case.

I suspect it will be the 7LRM with the next shortened to match the 6.5/300 PRC template. He comments 37:40 on this. Long Range Pursuit | EP 100: Reminiscing On The Good Ol' Days Of Gunwerks on Podbean, check it out! https://www.podbean.com/ea/dir-5jf53-12b13b65

So in the original version of that podcast he makes an offhand comment that the "7 LRM, soon to be the 7 PRC". They have removed that comment, probably weren't supposed to say that. I still have it on my phone but when I went to check it today that is missing.

I suspect Aaron was having a moment of wishful thinking there. If Hornady were to standardize it on his spec's they'd have to pay him a royalty for every rifle and round produced for it.

There are those other threads where they discuss that SAAMI has approved it. I don't see the drawing up or in info to that effect. A case similar to the 7 LRM less the long neck would follow the pattern of the 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC. That change would make it different enough to avoid royalties I would think.

I can't find a drawing for it anywhere and I've been chasing the rumor all over the net from one board to the next.

This all may be based on Davidson's statement on the pod cast and nothing more but who knows.

If I'm not mistaken, the case length looks to almost have split the 6.5 and 300 PRC OALs. 180 @ 2,950 sounds like a fun time. All the big names making PRC brass already likely means reloading supplies available down the road.

 

[Casscade]

Yeah this looks more interesting than some of their other offerings, for me anyway, and may be the ticket.

Left to right just messing around with factory 300 brass.

Looks like Hornady knocked off a 7 blaser.

Looks like Hornady knocked off a 7 blaser.

…or the 7-300WM lite if we're talking performance. My next barrel will be a 7-300 PRC assuming AW has the chamber dimensions worked out for the parent case.
