Cartridge of the Day: 7mm PRC
The 7mm PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) is a relatively new cartridge developed by Hornady, designed for long-range precision shooting and hunting. It was built to offer superior ballistic performance, particularly in terms of velocity, energy retention, and wind resistance. The cartridge typically features heavy-for-caliber bullets, which improve performance at extended ranges.
The 7mm PRC is built on a magnum case length and usually employs bullets weighing between 160 to 180 grains, offering a flat trajectory and high ballistic coefficient. This makes it effective for hunting larger game like elk and deer at long distances, as well as for competitive shooting disciplines where precision at extended ranges is paramount.
Key characteristics include optimized case geometry for consistent powder burn and seating depth, as well as compatibility with modern, high-BC (ballistic coefficient) projectiles. It is available in both factory-loaded ammunition and reloading components. Overall, the 7mm PRC is designed to maximize long-range capability and accuracy.
