    I know this topic is getting beat to death lately... but I wanted to post my thoughts and get some opinions. I think I make sense, but there are way more knowledgeable shooters on this forum than me. I think when you compare the two rifles in an off-the-shelf purchase situation, the 7 PRC definitely has a slight advantage in that it's potential has already been maxed out in terms of seating depth for longer, higher BC bullets. The factory set-up in a 7mm Rem Mag has some limitations and you do have to seat bullets way deeper and into the powder capacity area, along this the slower twist rate compared to the PRC. But here are my thoughts... In a custom build rifle where you can choose the barrel, the twist rate and the throat length in the chamber... I feel like the 7mm Rem Mag has the advantage. I was getting really close to starting a custom 7PRC build and the more I researched the more I felt that in a custom rifle where you can maximize the COAL and extend the seating depth, I just don't feel like the PRC has any advantage at all. Am I crazy? With a 180gr Berger VLD, I get 2945 FPS out of my custom 284 Winchester and a 26" barrel. With my custom 7Mag, I am pushing to 3000 and I can't even seat as far out as I wish I could. I would like to push out to COAL of 3.600" and I am only able to get 3.400 in my rifle. I think if you build a rifle that allows for the max length... you would actually best the 7PRC. (Both of my loads are using 7828SSC powder). I would love to hear some thoughts on this.

    Vortex Optics Truth

    Cambow posted a topic in Long Range Shooting

    I am setting up another long range rifle in 7mag and researching scopes. I have Leupold LRP 6.5-20 scopes on both my other rigs. I am hoping to save a bit and was considering trying out a Vortex Viper... but the more I read, the more confused I am. This company seems like the ultimate love/hate brand. I thought I would post on here to get the opinions of real-world hunters and shooters. Are Vortex scope okay? I read a lot of reviews about owners saying the eye relief is very unforgiving and that focus on the outer edges isn't great. But then others love them...? Would love to hear some of your opinions... I am looking for a scope that has zero-stop turrets and is a good product at an affordable price. Thanks in advance!

    I actually need some of this but 8lbs is a lot for me. Any partial trades for other powders or primers?

    Bergara B-14 HMR Wilderness 300 PRC. These Bergaras are Remington 700 clone actions so most 700 accessories work on them. This rifle has seen a couple trips to the range and around 50-60 rounds through it. Shooting right at .6 MOA. I’m sticking with my 7mm rifles and letting this big boy go. Still have boxes for rifle and scope.

    Cambow replied to jeffcros's topic in Classified Ads

    If you want to save on the per lb. price. I have an unopened 8# jug of H4350 I would sell for $380. I work in East Mesa and live in South Gilbert.
