I proof every rifle we build in our shop as we are SAAMI certified.How did you acquire those? Should be around 80K or better PSI. Would be interesting to know the velocity!!

Proof rounds come from the factory with a number of telltale markings. Red case heads is the most common. Nickle washed cases, red paint dipped bullets, and probably the coolest mark is found on Weatherby proof rounds. The rim of the case is rolled like the edge of a quarter. You can see the picture on the previous page showing the new, unfired rounds.What are you using on the heads to show the marks?
What does recoil compare too?We've now built four of the 7 PRCs in our shop. The 175 ELD-X PH load has been extremely accurate and spot on for velocity. The box states 3000 FPS and our rifles have been running 3015 average in 24" length.

Really quite mild. I'm launching the 175 ELD-X at 3000 and recoil is very manageable in a hunting weight rifle.What does recoil compare too?
I have a nice load with 78.8 grains of LRT, 175gr ABLR, and ADG brass. I have them loaded to 3.300" and it shoots 3010 fps and sub-MOA.Has anyone used LRT with 175 Hornady's with the 7MM PRC? Will be using Peterson Brass, Pete
