What I'm saying is it doesn't matter who is right or wrong in it. People have options and they can do what they want which is not a bad thing. As for me, I don't care if I have a 7 PRC or a 7 rem mag. The whole chest pumping thing is not for me either. Just as people chest pump about the 7 PRC or the 7 rem mag, people are gonna chest pump about being right if the 7 PRC doesn't catch on. I'm not about chest pumping anything and don't care for it.

to me, it depends what bullet you wanna run and if you're interested in a full custom build or not.
If you wanna do a full custom...build a 7 LRM, it's the best of the 7 Rem and the PRC in one pkg. Brass adaptation being the big kick in the nuts.
As for bullet selection (assumign proper twists)
If you wanna run a 150-170 bullet, run a Nosler
If you wanna Run a 170-185, run a 7 Rem Mag with the right twist
If you wanna run a 185-195, run a PRC.
I had interest in the 7 PRC when it was first announced, and when I read the H20 capacity, I lost interest. It doesn't do anything better than a custom 7 Rem Mag with the proper twist. It's only advantage is no belt, which isn't enough for me to switch.
3100 FPS from HBN coated 180 Hybrids smokes anything a PRC will put out, even hand rolled... but it takes the right powder and the right barrel to do it right.

Personally I'd go Seekins, 7 RM (if it has the box length I'd have it punched to 7 Mashburn Super) and I wouldn't worry about the 50-60 fps diff between a 22 and a 24" barrel. Barrel length is for balance not speed (at least it is for me)
Best of luck to ya

Please try a nosler model 21! It's a very well balanced rifle! Love mine!
Good article ( show) on YouTube recently...search Ultimate Reloader 7 mag vs 7 PRC. Not enough difference for me to buy one but that's just me. Check for Brass first would be my only concern..... To sum up the difference in the show.....68fps at 1000 yards...won't light my world on fire....but 11" flatter at 1000.... again is that enough???? If you aren't competing in BR.....??? Just me...
