375" drop w/ 100 yard zero. 1000ft.lbs: 1660yd. I have two bags of W-W virgin brass and enough multi-fired brass to last me the rest of my life. The email address you entered is not valid. same principal applies to bullets. Using this as a reference, let's examine several other factors that can effect our shot placement. The amount of wind deflection is basically determined by how large the drag forces are and how long those forces act on the bullet. Well, that would limit most hunting rifles to between 150 and 400-yards. It's like these other guys said, if you throw a small rock it goes really fast, but not very far. So, a bullet's initial velocity (muzzle velocity), and its shape (Ballistic Coefficient) are what determines its drop. An inch is no big deal even if you're shooting squirrels in the head. R . Keep in mind this is an approximation and although it is quite accurate it should never replace first-hand experience of shooting your specific firearm and ammunition to determine the bullet drop and windage at different ranges and conditions. There are quite a few variables that all work to decrease the true potential of a rifle. 7 PRC is designed for shorter barrels. With the high BC of some of the 7mm bullets, ballistically this 7mm PRC will outshine most 6.5mm and 30cal cartridges. Ok ya that makes sense. I chose to put a Proof barrel on and had an M16 extractor installed and am very happy with the results. We carefully monitor the velocity until we see a significant increase (30-60 fps) which usually takes around 40 to 60 rounds. I did chamber a 7mm Blaser some years back, the 7mm PRC seems to me a very much balanced cartridge coming from the 78gn capacity and based on the Ruger cartridge, look to be efficient for loading 160gn bullets to 2900-3000ft/s. Part of that preparation is understanding, in simple terms, the external ballistics of a typical long range shot. But, everything has to be perfect for it to work. I currently shoot a 300 Win Mag. If it performs like my 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC, Im guessing it will be a winner too. (888) 223-3006
So please keep letting us know how it works for you. Mag. I shot a coyote yesterday with the 7 PRC and had no problem seeing the bullet impact the coyote and the aftermath without losing my view of the target in the scope due to recoil. If you aimed a barrel perfectly in line with a target 100 yards away with the world's highest B.C. 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. Thats a dead whitetail deer out to 1200 yards lol. I plan to run it suppressed after barrel break-in. You have to find the right balance of weight and aerodynamics. They use Berger 168 gr VLD (Very Low Drag) bullets. Tikka, Browning, and Bergara are conspicuously missing from the list and yet they all chamber for the 6.5 PRC. Again, weight of the bullet plays a large role in bucking wind. Sounded like your load data charts for the 7mm PRC were all done with 24 test barrel. Is that right? In fact, Aaron Davidson, CEO of Gunwerks, jokingly said that the new 7PRC is the 7LRM. Far shots start to need a lot of compensation for bullet drop and wind drift to make an ethical shot on a game animal. You might be able to measure with a data meter the speed and direction at your location, but the wind is very likely doing something entirely different at mid-range, or at the target. I quickly saw that the 4 fewer grains of case capacity in the 7 PRC made these powders not ideal. They sent me their full-length bushing resizing die and micrometer seating die and Ive been amazed with the quality. But, you dont want to get too close to that minimum expansion velocity. there are plenty of rifles capable of 1000 yards but if your looking for something that wont drop 10 ft there are better choices. I have a complete article on the best rifles available now in 7mm PRC. Given a 10mph wind and an average load, it drifts just 0.3 at 100 yards, 14.5 at 500 yards, and 69 at 1,000 yards. The 7 PRC has very slightly less case capacity than the 7mm Remington Magnum, but also has a twist rate and neck length capable of shooting much heavier bullets than are common in a 7 Mag. Thank you. I contacted you about my 6.5 Fierce CT Rival that was having extraction and barrel pressure problems like you were. Wind deflection, or drift as we usually refer to it, does not occur from wind blowing on the side of the bullet. Magpro had a lot of case capacity left, but wasnt getting the velocity Id hope to see without just burning a ton of powder. The first is simple to measure and compensate for. Hey Jim, thanks for all the great content. deciding between the 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, and 300 PRC, full-length bushing resizing die and micrometer seating die, Backfires Youtube channel was the first publication to break the story, https://bobp.cip-bobp.org/uploads/tdcc/tab-i/tabical-en-page36.pdf. So far, my favorite powder for reloading the 7 PRC is H4831SC using standard large rifle primers. Privacy 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. I was about to embark on a 7 Saum build in a long action to use the longer, higher BC bullets. Humidity plays an almost negligible role. Heres what he reported using a 175gr ELDX, Federal 215M primers, and Reloder26 powder. I watch all your videos. Im hunting with this cartridge with 145 gr TTSX on red stags till 250 kg untill 300 m: Those are definitely numbers that need to be accounted for, but most sophisticated methods for long range shooting handle these changes easily. do you know the 7mm Blaser Magnum? N NomadPilot Well-Known Member Joined The first number is the value of this cartridge, and the last number is the value of the most powerful round in our bullet database. Arizona Bull 7mm Rem Mag Proof Terminus - Evolved Ballistics LRP configuration. Nice build Jim. bearcat2; Nov . Did you perhaps mean 50 cm? Hi Jim, Im a follower on YouTube, I really enjoy all of them. Regardless keep the videos coming This difference in bullet shape can be quantified, and the comparison simplified to one numberthe Ballistic Coefficient, or BC. Larry Whitehouse. Not being a downer on innovation, but 7mm STW is made by a lot more manufacturers than I see 7mm PRiCey ever being made by. Given Hornadys target load of 180gr at 2,950fps, this is likely a max load. Jim, nice summary on the 7PRC. Theres always another hunt. George Holt. Thread starter redneck watchdog; Start date Dec 8, 2011; Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum Become a supporting member. Jim Harmer is a host of the Backfire Youtube channel. Max range 600yard, would like to shoot the 180s. The illustration in Figure 3 was reproduced from Harold Vaughn's excellent book Rifle Accuracy Facts, and shows how a bullet reacts, and the drag forces that cause wind deflection. I really do like what you and your contributing crew are doing. If youre new to this, just call Preferred Barrel Blanks at (435) 635-6900 and tell them you read about them on Backfire and you want a 20 carbon fiber-wrapped prefit barrel like the one they made for me. rating at 4,200 fps, it would miss. Here is my info: 3040 FPS, 160 accubond at .531 b/c, 50 degrees and 5000ft. Was nice to see your wife in the last video. Depending on bullet type and construction, the minimum expansion velocity for rifles falls between about 1300 and 2000 fps. Now I need to look at the 7.62x54R. Unfortunately, the chronograph (Labradar) glitched out and didnt record all the velocities, but I did at least shoot the following two that were recorded. Couple questions for you. Were did you had your rifle made? In the past too much attention was placed on increasing MV, but modern long range shooters realize that increasing the BC increases performance without increasing recoil. The PowerRank is an estimation of the cartridge power. 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. Was pleasantly surprised by your reference to preferred barrels and to find out that you are also a local Utah sportsman as I grew up only 70 miles away from St. George and still live and hunt this area with my family. The reason that the bullet deflects, is because its initial flight path or direction is different from the wind vector and resulting bullet attitude. You have to find the right balance of weight and aerodynamics. Great stuff. Come join the discussion about optics, hunting, gunsmithing, styles, reviews, accessories, classifieds, and more! We can minimize the effects from Magnus and Corriolis for sub 1000 yard shooting by zeroing at a longer range like 800 yardswhile pointing north or south. First, lets take a look at H4831SC powder loaded with a 175gr ELD-X bullet. I think the 280AI is a completely different animal as well. Thank you. At 500 yards the 7mm's ballistic advantage begins to matter with nearly 10 inches less drop than the .270, 6 inches less than the .300. how will the 7mm prc compare to the 7mm sherman short or 7mm sherman max. Would also mention- at THAT range, your ability to "read the wind" becomes critical. If you hunt and want to shoot at a longer range, you may be wondering what the effective range of a rifle cartridge is. Using dies from Whidden, I got to work. lb Muzzle Velocity ft/sec. So, you definitely need a long-range bullet for most longer shots. burning 61 grains Reloder 22 Recoil: 26.5 ft-lbs at 14.6 fps velocity Muzzle Energy: 3,269 ft-lbs Maximum Pressure: 61,000 psi MPBR: 365 yards (Zero at 307 yards, 3.9" high at 100 yards) These are some impressive numbers. The Extreme Spread (ES) of our velocity is usually under 10 fps and Standard Deviations (SD) is usually around 3-5 fps. Compact 1000 yard rangefinder. Newlon blanks. Check out bestofthewest.com or longrangepursuit.com. 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. Its all highly situational, but it matters. Practicing in these conditions can yeild valuable experience.I'm always learning about how to become a better shooter, and I still make mistakes. For example, most of the all-copper expanding bullets need something like 1,900 0r 2,000 fps to expand even a little. i have a 6.5 prc after reading this page on 7mm prc theres not enough extra hump in this new prc to justify buying one, I have three 7mags but I also have a 300wsm that lays down the gauntlett and beats this prc at everything. Rifles, Bullets, Barrels & Ballistics . Rifle Ammunition Product Lines: AG American Gunner . 7mm Ballistics Examined For this ballistics demonstration we are using Norma 150gr Scirocco with a muzzle velocity of 3117fps and a ballistic coefficient of 0.536.

Be intentional and smart with each shot. The cool thing is that Preferred Barrel Blanks does prefits for just about any action you already have. Eliminating the effect of wind by using high BC's and proper compensation techniques is the only solution. Love the Channel!!! Let's look at the difference in drop and deflection for our reference at 1000 yards from a 200 yard zero for two cases: 1000 ft 50 degrees ,and 8000 ft and 20 degrees. Very well done. But, I shoot a 195 EOL with a 1:9.5 twist out of a weatherby vanguard 7mm Rem Mag. Still a decent amount of case capacity left. The aim ballistically for Hornady with the 7mm PRC, is for a cartridge that will fire a 180gr 7mm bullet at around 2950 to 3000fps. The 7mm Weatherby! N560 offers some of the best velocities without a compressed load. L. B. I appreciate this information. It will a produce a line graph showing the bullet drop and flight path of the bullet. 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. For this load, I chose the 195 Berger EOL and loaded it to max COAL of 3.34. There are no bullets below the 0.284 caliber with a ballistic coefficient higher than the 7mm. Remember, they dont show you the times it didnt work. I dont like playing games of how far can I go and minimum bullet energy. Do not rely on my anecdotal testing for your rifle.

There would be 226 inches drop at 1000 ft elevation compared to 207 inches at 8000 ft; and 52 inches deflection versus 40. The two most important variables are the Initial Velocity and the Ballistic Coefficient. It produces 1,500 ft-lbs of energy for elk-sized game out to 510 yards, and 1,000 ft-lbs for deer-sized game to 810 yards. A hunting firearm can only be so heavy, and a smart shooter will only subject himself to a limited amount of recoil. Great video and Ive been following and hoping that a 7 PRC would come for years now. 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. Personally my mind goes towards hot rodding medium-to-heavy-for-caliber monos in the 150-175 grain range at 3200 -> 3000+ for long range expansion on game. Ill keep pushing my 7RM 180gr at 3050 with 72.2gr Retumbo with brass more available than I could ever want or need. Hornady ELD-X and Barnes LRX both will expand at 1600 fps.

External ballistics covers everything that happens during a bullet's flight between the muzzle of the rifle, and the target. I feel it will offer the best velocity in a shorter barrel. Now I think that build is going to be a 7 PRC. So, the crosswind velocity and the bullet's time of flight will determine how much it is deflected in the wind. The 7mm PRC is a new round designed for long-range shooting and big-game hunting. Personally, my load for the 175 ELD-X in the 7mm PRC will be 64gr of H4831SC, which should yield around 2,925fps. The best of us always leave too soon. Hi Jim, Increasing the BC to 0.700 the drift is only half, at 20 inches! Your email address will not be published. Or wait and hope it stops for a few seconds.

This load has been optimized in Shoot! 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. Ballistic Profile Specifications: Scope height, velocity, twist rate, and all ballistic data to include bullet Ballistic Coefficient (BC), powder charge, Base to Ogive, and Cartridge Overall Length will be provided with the package. A 20 degree incline at 1000 yards is worth 15 inches and is a realistic shooting situation. With the ammo and reloading components markets starting to normalize, when do you think 7mm PRC ammo and reloading components will be available this year? Snow. You have stated several times you would not use 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC for large game like elk. We will ignore any left/right effect, and focus on the vertical errors. Whidden Gunworks doesnt show 7mm PRC offering on their website. Id love to see it. You can find an email form and contact information here. 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. Because of the nature of the bullet's shape and its performance through the air, changing Air Densities can have a large effect at long range. What are the speeds youre getting with your 20 barrel?

Im not sure that muzzle velocity would have helped this discussion, though. Thank you for your efforts and info on this. Better to pass on a questionable shot. I expected it to go a little faster in the CX due to the lighter weight, but copper bullets can also increase pressures, so it seems that Hornady wasnt able to get any increased speed out of it. Your email address will not be published. John B. This information is provided to the shooter as well. For example, having 1,500 ft-lbs of energy to kill a bull elk is a decent barometer, but elk have also been killed with far less energy when excellent shot placement and good bullet construction are in play. Power Rank: 3.9 of 20. @Jim Harmer I know this is a very hard list to compile, I do appreciate your attempts to educate in a common sense way.
