Finally released from Hornady is the 7mm PRC!

A long-action cartridge designed for heavy for caliber bullets and near magnum performance, the 7mm PRC has been a long awaited addition to the PRC lineup.

Shooting 160gr-180gr bullets at 3,000 FPS the 7mm PRC should stay above 2,000 foot-pounds of energy out to about 550 yards, and over 1,000 foot-pounds well past 1,000 yards.

From Hornady:

“Fitting the niche between the 6.5 PRC and the 300 PRC, the 7mm PRC features temperature-stable, magnum speed propellants for consistent velocity and longer barrel life. Factory rifles are available or simply swap the barrel on your 7mm Rem Mag or 300 Win Mag and reap the benefits of this long-action, centerfire rifle cartridge. With results you can count on, trust your next hunt or match to the 7mm PRC.”
