This calculator will produce a ballistic trajectory chart that shows the bullet drop, bullet energy, windage, and velocity. This information is provided to the shooter as well. The maximum effective range of the 6.5 PRC for hunting is approximately 730 yards, at which distance many bullets will slow below 1,900 fps which can cause a bullet to fail to expand. Its certainly true that bullet/load selection will make a big difference. However, the 7mm PRC shot on average 105 fps faster. do you know the 7mm Blaser Magnum?

When it gets mailed to you, you screw it on and you have a 7 PRC! This means that velocity is the big player effecting how much a bullet will drop. 5/8 to 1 groups at 500 yards. The 7mm PRC will beat the following cartridges in sales over the next 20 years: 280AI, Gunwerks LRM, and the 7mm Rem Mag. Flat nosed pistol bullet on the left, .308 Cal 168 grain Barnes TSX center, VLD shaped 7mm 168 grain far right.But it doesn't take a huge difference in bullet shape to have a big effect when we are comparing velocities over 1000 yards. Personally, my load for the 175 ELD-X in the 7mm PRC will be 64gr of H4831SC, which should yield around 2,925fps. Just like shooting near dawn or dusk, or shooting into a glare. John B. For this load, I chose the 195 Berger EOL and loaded it to max COAL of 3.34. The benefit was a hot shower and soft bed every night! Thankyou for report off the 7mm PRC as I have been searching for since I saw the SAAMI specification. Since this new cartridge has been announced, Ive talked with my contacts at many of the major rifle manufacturers and have been surprised by how many of them are extremely frustrated with working on PRC chamberings in their rifles. Outdoor Hub, LLC (d/b/a Carbon Media Group), 30800 Telegraph Rd, Suite 1921, Bingham Farms, MI 48025 USA. How much does the system you made weigh? This is averaging several different loads to get these numbers for each cartridge, so we can compare apples-to-apples, but youre right that with ALL cartridges you could go up or down slightly depending on the load selection. The sample trajectory in Figure 1 is typical for a 7mm Remington Magnum shooting a 168 grain VLD bullet at 3050 fps muzzle velocity. Couple questions for you. with 50 inch barrel. Now, I either need to find ammunition to shoot, or new brass. I have one on order with Preferred Barrels. The reason that the bullet deflects, is because its initial flight path or direction is different from the wind vector and resulting bullet attitude. Testing 160-168 Gr bullets. Practical distance isnt the same as the max distance a rifle can shoot. Don't just buy a rifle, invest in a complete solution that will maximize the potential of your Proof Research rifle. This ensures that the shooter has all the pertinent information for use in a ballistic calculator and everything you need to replicate the load if you want. Simple as that.

In the 1960's Remington created the 7mm Remington Magnum based of the 375 H&H cartridge design. The bullets BC (ballistic coefficient) is very high at 0.536. I would be happy if I could confirm 900-1K. Freedom is not free. Be intentional and smart with each shot. bearcat2; Nov . A faster twist in the rifling of a barrel allows the bullet to spin more quickly to stabilize longer (and consequently heavier) bullets. Sighting-in a hunting rifle to hit a certain number of inches high at 100 yards (or 100 meters) maximizes the point blank range of the rifle and cartridge and is superior to zeroing at a fixed distance like 200 yards. The recoil of the 7mm PRC produces 27.7 ft-lbs of energy at a recoil velocity of 14.1 fps. Im tired of hunting with my long and heavy 300 win mag so Im re-chambering it. I think your numbers might be off. Figure 2. Still a decent amount of case capacity left. Not all bullets are Max-Range bullets. I guess the 7mm WSM is dead. I am alarmed at the number of proponents of long range shooting technology that simply ignore the effect of wind, and have no provision to compensate in their equipment. No visible pressure signs, but likely overpressure. Jim Harmer is a host of the Backfire Youtube channel. The 7mm RUM is identical to a high performance race engine in every sense. Figure 3. With quality hunting ammo, this cartridge maintains 2000 fps velocity to around 600 yards. This round is here to stay, and while the relative recoil or kick is often sighted as negative, it's often over stated, while it does kick the numbers show that the recoil on average is = or less than the average for the 30-06 but is of course more than the 270, and the 30-30. Its just another very similar round with no clear huge advantages, maybe only recoil. Tell them I sent you. Mainly, because of our inability to directly quantify wind speed and direction as we can with distance when using a rangefinder. 24 is the reference data from Hornady, but I have a 20 barrel and am still getting nice velocities. The 7 PRC is designed around the 180-grain ELD-Match bullet; however, some people will certainly point to the fact that the 7mm Rem Mag has been able to shoot 180-grain bullets for many decades. In this post, well look in-depth into that question. I hope brass makers continue to make 7mm STW brass. Im guessing that the parent cartridge for this is the .416, but thats really a guess. When youre talking about a newly-released cartridge, Jim, it would be helpful if you would tell us what the parent cartridge is, if there is one. Everything was sub 1/2 moa from 59.5 to 62 grains.

Seriously, its by far the nicest die set Ive ever ownedand Ive tried just about every brand out there. So youre telling me Springfield Armory is planning on making a 7 PRC Waypoint 2020 in 2023 ?!?!?! Part of that preparation is understanding, in simple terms, the external ballistics of a typical long range shot. Decreasing wind deflection is a very important part of precise long range shooting. I really want to compare recoils of suppressed rifles. Whidden Gunworks doesnt show 7mm PRC offering on their website. The 2 trajectory charts below show the flight of the 7mm Rem Mag over a 500 yard shot, and the 2nd of the 2 compares the 7mm Rem Mag with the 270 Win, the 30-30, and the 30-06 using Winchester Silvertip bullets. Thats one flat shooting load considering we sighted-in the bullet to impact only 2.37 inches high at 100 yards. Most simple ballistic calculators take air density into account, and change the manufacturer's standard sea level Ballistic Coefficient to match the environmental conditions. It really looks like this might be the do all cartridge Ive been waiting for. Those are definitely numbers that need to be accounted for, but most sophisticated methods for long range shooting handle these changes easily. Know how well you shoot in different conditions and trust your skills. for a 6 inch vital zone (typical of a whitetail deer). Altitude: 0 Feet with a Standard Atmospheric Model. I really do like what you and your contributing crew are doing. This difference in bullet shape can be quantified, and the comparison simplified to one numberthe Ballistic Coefficient, or BC. Hornady has made the perfect 7mm case. Your information will never be shared and you can unsubscribe with one click at anytime.

Jim, I enjoy that you use your platform to provide reliable data to ethically take animals. There have been many changes to the reamer specs of the other PRC cartridges, and the tight tolerances make manufacturing difficult. Further comparison shows that is flies faster than either of the 3 other rounds, and only the 270 Win beats it in terms of average power, but the 7mm is the victor in the average energy as well having 3106 lbs of force from muzzle. Centerfire Handgun. Your load data is tied to your rifle serial number and thus can be ordered from us at any time. Any suggestions? And were you making your own brass or using RCC machined brass? Thank you. Seldom is the practical max the same as the true max distance. I would like to know if you have any info on the 7.7 jap. I shoot only 7mm rem mag in 3 different set ups and for me, there arent nearly enough pros to just switch the tack on the near impossible feat of obtaining brass. Maybe you could do a future video on it? So far, my favorite powder for reloading the 7 PRC is H4831SC using standard large rifle primers. While the 7mm 168 grain VLD would only need 3100 fps at the muzzle to match that 2000 fps velocity at 1000 yards. Unlike a load data book from one of the ammunition companies, I am not measuring pressure with a computer. Youre right. Check out bestofthewest.com or longrangepursuit.com. Ill keep you posted!

He is a well-known entrepreneur, having started many successful online brands, and lives in St George, Utah. The .204 ruger for varmints, 6.5 prc for deer and elk but also moose, then the daddy of short mags the 300wsm which can really handle elk moose and brown bears. Wind deflection, or drift as we usually refer to it, does not occur from wind blowing on the side of the bullet. The one disagreement I have is that I think the 7PRC will affect the 28 Nosler sales more than they will the 7RM or 280AI. The pistol bullet will slow down much faster, see Figure 2. Obviously Hornady makes dies for the 7 PRC, but I personally am not a fan of their dies. This is more than adequate for taking down large game the size of elk at this distance, provided you use the right bullet to penetrate to reach the vitals and place the shot accurately. It is intended for long-range shooting due to its ability to utilize high BC bullets, and is also uniquely suited for hunting large animals such as elk. It is intended for long-range shooting due to its ability to utilize high BC bullets, and is also uniquely suited for hunting large animals such as elk. Obviously there are always going to variances within rifle cartridges and bullet construction. There is still quite a bit more case capacity left with Magpro (my guess would be you could go to 77 grains before it compresses), so that could be an option for max velocity, but youd be going through quite a bit more powder to get there. 2023 Backfire LLC, a limited liability company headquartered in Utah, USA. Can someone help me with a MOA ( 4 clicks for 1" ) drop chart for my 7MM Rem Mag? Snow. Let's compare the amount of wind deflection for two different bullet's launched at 3000 fps MV. If for a brief fraction of a second everything is lined up and you in that instant know you got it, take the shot. Minimum sucks. For instance 180 grain bullet out of a .30-06 will have a range of numbers even if the MV is the same, as you can have bullets like VLD, spitzer/hollow point boat tail, flat base, and round nose bullets all found in factory loads.

Something like a 145gr Barnes LRX would be a great choice. Good flat trajectory and power make this cartridge a winner when hunting deer, mule deer, and other medium to large game. A bullet traveling through the air will lose velocity, and the bullet's shape effects how fast it will slow down. Im not sure that muzzle velocity would have helped this discussion, though. If your max is 400-yards and the deer is moving, perhaps stick to 200-yards. 7 PRC would be a nice step down in recoil from a 300 win mag as long as you choose a lighter bullet. Being derived from the H&H case, there is plenty of case capacity, and the 7mm Remington Magnum will send the heavy 175-grain bullets at a muzzle velocity of 2800 fps or so, depending on the manufacturer, and the speed only increases as the bullets get lighter. First, lets take a look at H4831SC powder loaded with a 175gr ELD-X bullet. Trying to decide between the new hot rod 7prc and the old standby (perfect) .280Ackley.

The 30 caliber 165 grain Barnes TSX would have to be fired at 4100 fps muzzle velocity to maintain 2000 fps velocity at 1000 yards. Im sure people will certainly use the cartridge for many things. Hornady ELD-X and Barnes LRX both will expand at 1600 fps. Every hunter needs to read this and understand the real limitations of their ammunition. As we examine the drop and deflection of a bullet it becomes apparent that BC and velocity are very important parameters for shooting at long range. You may be able to use a heavier bullet and achieve more energy or a longer range with more velocity.if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'backfire_tv-box-4','ezslot_6',175,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-backfire_tv-box-4-0'); Since were talking about max distances, Id like to clarify something here. The time of flight is dependent on shape (BC) and initial muzzle velocity. Now im gonna say this , without reloader 26 powder I would have no need to own this 6.5prc, this powder is like magic. Ive been playing around with Berger 190g Long Range Hybrid Targets. Because the 7mm shoots the lighter bullets at higher velocities, it is better suited to the law enforcment arena than the .300.

My $0.02, 6.5 creedmore, 7.82 warbird, 338 luapa, 7mm ultra mag comes to mind. The effective range of a bullet can be measured in different ways because it depends on what the bullet needs to be effective at doing. This difference in bullet shape can be quantified, and the comparison simplified to one numberthe Ballistic Coefficient, or BC. While we have went to great lengths to make sure that it's as accurate as possible this rendering should not be used to generate specs for casings. A bullet with a BC of 0.400 will drift over 40 inches at 700 yards in a 10 mile per hour crosswind. Depending on bullet type and construction, the minimum expansion velocity for rifles falls between about 1300 and 2000 fps. Unfortunately I wasnt able to find any standard case diagrams for the Sherman cartridges so thats really all I can say. First know Im a disabled hunter who is in my early 60s, I have a spinal issue from an accident and just had shoulder surgery, I cant walk far anymore. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I wanted to use a 20 barrel suppressed on my 7mm PRC. Was nice to see your wife in the last video. These are Altitude (basically, Pressure), and Air Temperature. Note that with these loads, I switch to a standard large rifle primernot a magnum primer. It will a produce a line graph showing the bullet drop and flight path of the bullet. Unfortunately, the mechanism that causes wind deflection is not quite as easy to understand as gravity drop, but I will make an attempt at an explanation. But these eyes have seen better days (literally). Will be interested in seeing which manufacturers chamber this round. Thanks, God Bless. The 7mm Weatherby! Look up bergerbullets.com.

Now I need to look at the 7.62x54R. Thanks for all the research and compilation here, are you certain of the numbers here as in many cases your distance where bullet travels less than 1500 fps is shorter than that same calibres 1900 fps for example 6.5 PRC? Id love to see what data you get so I can include more data in this post. I thought for certain it would have more powder capacity than a 7 Mag so Hornady could advertise the new cartridge beating the old standard. it works. Winchester Ballistics Calculator. Looking forward to more. As soon as the cartridge was officially announced, Hornady announced many rifle makers that will be producing factory offerings for the 7 PRC. Most people will like 22, but I like em short! In other words what barrel length will produce a 3,000 fps muzzle velocity using the factory loaded Precision Hunter 175 gr ELD-X bullet? I dont like playing games of how far can I go and minimum bullet energy. A good marksman will not squeeze the trigger unless he believes it will work. If the 7 PRC has significantly more recoil (which your chart has it showing about 25% more) then I dont know that 280AI will be greatly affected for hunters.
